💖 iscsi_sw_tcp_recv(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, that's the manual this page lives in, and yes, we're about to read a kernel function page together like it's the group chat. this one is iscsi_sw_tcp_recv, and the vibe is literally "TCP receive in sendfile fashion." iykyk 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

iscsi_sw_tcp_recv — TCP receive in sendfile fashion 🌈

like... it receives over TCP, but in sendfile fashion. that's the whole pitch, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int iscsi_sw_tcp_recv (read_descriptor_t *rd_desc , struct sk_buff *skb
, unsigned int offset , size_t len );

she takes four things and gives you back an int, periodt. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rd_desc — the read descriptor 🍓 (yes, that's genuinely all it says, and honestly? iconic for being so mysterious)
  • skb — the socket buffer 📦
  • offset — the offset in the skb 🎯
  • len — literally skb->len - offset, the math is right there, she's not hiding anything 💀

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

kernel file ./drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c — go read the source bestie, it's giving main character energy 👑

all the sister functions, all in the same friend group, all worth a read 🧚

ngl there's not a lot here and that's fine — every option, every argument, every reference is present and accounted for, no crumbs left behind. 💜

and that's the page!! 🎀 huge thank you to the ./drivers/scsi crew for shipping this one, dated October 2026, filed under iscsi_sw_tcp_recv(9) — mwah, obsessed, slay 💅✨🦋
