igc_free_all_tx_resources(9)

💅 igc_free_all_tx_resources — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie)

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the igc driver, section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and you just need everything to be clean. That's this function. Literally its whole personality.

---

✨ NAME ✨

igc_free_all_tx_resources — Free Tx Resources for All Queues 🎀 (yes, all of them, not just the cute one)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void igc_free_all_tx_resources (struct igc_adapter *adapter );

Not me writing void like it's giving nothing back — because it isn't! No return value, no crumbs, just cleanup. Periodt. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — board private structure 👑 the main character of this whole operation, the struct that holds your board's private business.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Free all transmit software resources ✨

That's it, that's the vibe. Every Tx software resource? Gone. Freed. Released back into the wild. No cap. 🫶

Lowkey a "clean up after yourself" icon — it's not here to do the transmit thing, it's here to make sure the transmit stuff doesn't linger rent-free. 🧚
