ixgbe_clean_tx_ring(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ ixgbe_clean_tx_ring — Free Tx Buffers ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is from the ixgbe section of the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're fancy here 💅) and it's short but it matters.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_clean_tx_ring — literally what it says on the tin: it frees the Tx buffers. no cap. it's giving "spring cleaning but for transmit rings" 🧹✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ixgbe_clean_tx_ring (struct ixgbe_ring *tx_ring );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. it returns void, so don't be out here expecting a return value, bestie, there isn't one 🙈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • tx_ring — the ring that's getting cleaned. like, the actual ring to be cleaned. that's the whole assignment 👑

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay so this is the part where the manpage just goes feral and lists everybody. first up, the source file itself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c

and now the iconique ensemble cast, all of them, no skips:

like, genuinely everyone showed up to this function's party 🔥👑

💀 real talk though: this page is tiny, so there's no warnings, no exit statuses, no environment variables, no bugs section, no copyright line hidden in here. what you see is what you get, bestie. don't go inventing lore that isn't canon 🫶

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅 the source on this one is the kernel tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it's truncated, that's how it shipped, not me being lazy 😭), dated October 2026, and it's all about ixgbe_clean_tx_ring(9) — go forth and free those Tx buffers, you absolute icon ✨🦋🌸
