💖 ixgbe_dcb_config_rx_arbiter_82599(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is literally about ixgbe_dcb_config_rx_arbiter_82599 — the Rx Data arbiter config girlie. yes she's a whole vibe. come sit with me 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_dcb_config_rx_arbiter_82599 — Config Rx Data arbiter. that's it, that's the whole name, and honestly? iconic of her. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_dcb_config_rx_arbiter_82599 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16 *refill
, u16 *max , u8 *bwg_id , u8 *prio_type , u8 *prio_tc );

like, look at that signature. six whole parameters. she's high maintenance but she delivers 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

every single one of them, no skips, we don't do that here:

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. it's the hardware babe, the main character, the whole point tbh 🔥
  • refill — refill credits index by traffic class. yes, refill, like when your iced coffee cup gets topped up 🍓
  • max — max credits index by traffic class. the ceiling. the limit. the "girl know your worth" of credits ⭐
  • bwg_id — bandwidth grouping indexed by traffic class. bwg is bandwidth grouping btw, iykyk 💜
  • prio_type — priority type indexed by traffic class. which type of priority, indexed by traffic class, exactly as it says, no notes 🌈
  • prio_tc — priority to tc assignments indexed by priority. note the flip: this one's indexed by priority, not traffic class. little plot twist, love that for her 🙈
yes they're all pointers. yes five of the six come in as pointers to arrays. yes you need to keep the indexing straight. no i will not be taking questions 💀

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Configure Rx Packet Arbiter and credits for each traffic class.

that's the whole thing, bestie — she configures the Rx Packet Arbiter and the credits, for each traffic class. every. single. class. no class left behind, periodt ✨

💫 SEE ALSO 💫

go look at the kernel file first, it's right there:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_dcb_82599.c

and then the whole friend group of related functions, all of them, in order:

the tx girlies get two whole entries and rx only gets one, but we're not gonna be bitter about it 😭💅

okay that's the page!! source/version situation: it's from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and dated October 2026, and this whole cutie was filed under ixgbe_dcb_c...rbiter_82599(9). mwah, bye bestie, go configure those arbiters responsibly 🧚💖🌸
