💖 ixgbevf_add_rx_frag — kernel API manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, iykyk) and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one job. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_add_rx_frag — literally just "Add contents of Rx buffer to sk_buff". that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbevf_add_rx_frag (struct ixgbevf_ring *rx_ring , struct
       ixgbevf_rx_buffer *rx_buffer , struct sk_buff *skb , unsigned int size
       );

yeah she takes four things and returns void. nothing comes back, she just does. main character energy honestly 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rx_ring — the rx descriptor ring we're transacting packets on. it's the stage, the packets are the performers 🦋
  • rx_buffer — the buffer containing the page we're gonna add. this is the actual good stuff getting moved.
  • skb — the sk_buff we're placing the data into. the destination. the moment. the placement 🌈
  • size — size of the buffer being added. yes bestie, you gotta tell her how much. she's not gonna guess 💀

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she do? this function will add the data contained in rx_buffer->page to the skb. that's it. that's the whole plot. no twists, no subplot, just page goes into skb and everyone moves on with their lives ✨

fr fr that's the entire description. sometimes a function is just a function and honestly? we stan a focused queen 👑
