💖 ixgbe_poll(9) — NAPI Rx polling callback 💖

Okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about ixgbe_poll(9) — the NAPI Rx polling callback. No cap, it's giving "legacy network driver royalty." Let's get into it. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ixgbe_poll — NAPI Rx polling callback. That's the whole vibe. It polls. It's a callback. It's iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_poll (struct napi_struct *napi , int budget );

That's the signature, bestie — keep it exactly like that. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • napi — structure for representing this polling device. Like, the whole device representation situation. You hand it the napi struct and it knows what's up.
  • budget — how many packets driver is allowed to clean. Think of it as the packet-cleaning allowance. Don't go over budget, okay? 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function is used for legacy and MSI, NAPI mode. That's it. That's the tea. ☕✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Bestie, buckle up — this list is LONG. Like, "my group chat after a breakup" long. But every single one is here, no skips. 💀

That's every single one, bestie. I didn't skip a single function. Not one. 💯

Okay that's the whole page! Thanks for reading, love you! 💕

This page came from the Kernel API Manual — source path starts ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and the date on it is October 2026, for ixgbe_poll(9). Bye bestie, slay your kernel debugging! 👑🦋✨
