igc_reuse_rx_page(9)
π igc_reuse_rx_page(9) β the kernel API glow-up π
okay so bestie, welcome to the igc_reuse_rx_page manpage, part of the Kernel API Manual. this one is short but she is mighty, and we're gonna get into it fr fr π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
igc_reuse_rx_page β page flip buffer and store it back on the ring. that's literally her whole job, no cap. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void igc_reuse_rx_page (struct igc_ring *rx_ring , struct igc_rx_buffer
*old_buff );
she's a void function returning nothing, and ngl the vibes are immaculate. π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
rx_ringβ the rx descriptor ring to store buffers on. this is the destination ring, the main character spot where the buffer is going π β¨old_buffβ the donor buffer that's having its page reused. bestie is giving, not taking π
π DESCRIPTION π
Synchronizes page for reuse by the adapter. that's it, that's the whole description β short, sweet, and lowkey doing the lord's work so the adapter can reuse that page. iconic behavior, truly. π₯
π SEE ALSO π
alright so the cross-references are many, and we respect each and every one of them. it's giving function bestie roll-call:

okay that's the page, and for the cute lil sign-off: this one lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc and she was last dropped in October 2026. go forth and reuse those pages, bestie β you got this πβ¨π
