✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_dcb_config_tx_data_arbiter_82598 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16
*refill , u16 *max , u8 *bwg_id , u8 *prio_type );

like… look at that signature. five args. returns an int. she's serving structure, she's serving pointers, she's serving typed pointers 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. literally the hardware struct, the main character of this whole function ngl 👑
• refill — refill credits index by traffic class. u16 *, indexed per traffic class, she's a lookup table bestie 💖
• max — max credits index by traffic class. also u16 *, also indexed by traffic class — the ceiling to the refill's floor, they're a duo 💜
• bwg_id — bandwidth grouping indexed by traffic class. u8 * this time, so keep those values small, mmkay? 🎀
• prio_type — priority type indexed by traffic class. another u8 *, and yes it's indexed the same way, consistency is the moment ✨
