🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_setup_all_rx_resources — the girl whose entire personality is allocating all queues' Rx resources 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_setup_all_rx_resources (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the board private structure. that's it, that's the whole arg. she takes one pointer and she runs with it 🏃‍♀️💨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

k so here's the tea, and it's important tea ☕: if this function comes back with an error, it is possible that one or more of the rings is populated while the rest are not. like, some of them showed up to the party and some didn't 😭 — the vibes are mixed.

and because of that? it is the caller's duty to clean those orphaned rings. not hers. hers. the caller's. you made the mess-adjacent situation, you tidy it 🧹✨

  • Return 0 on success 🥳
  • Return negative on failure 💀
no cap, the cleanup is on you. don't leave those orphaned rings hanging, it's giving abandoned group chat 🙈
