ixgbe_disab...buff_generic(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for ixgbe_disab...buff_generic(9) — yes, the title is truncated like that. The name entry is ixgbe_disable_rx_buff_generic, and its whole one-line vibe is Stops the receive data path. lowkey iconic, highkey very specific 💅

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

the signature is giving:

int ixgbe_disable_rx_buff_generic (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. that’s the whole argument, bestie.

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so ixgbe_disable_rx_buff_generic stops the receive data path, periodt. then it waits for the HW to internally empty the Rx security block. that’s the lore — no cap, no extra steps 🫶
