ixgbevf_fre...rx_resources(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — section 9, kernel devs only, no cap. This page is all about ixgbevf_free_all_rx_resources — which, as the name is literally giving, frees the Rx resources for all queues. Every single one. The whole squad. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbevf_free_all_rx_resources (struct ixgbevf_adapter *adapter );

That's it, that's the whole call. She takes one pointer and returns void — no return value, no drama, no receipts. 🎀

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• adapter — the board private structure 💖. Yes it's struct ixgbevf_adapter *, yes you have to pass the real one, and yes she is the main character of this whole function iykyk.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the vibe here is extremely simple: free all receive software resources. 🔥 That's the whole thing. Rx side, all of it, release it back.

No really — that's the entire description. Sometimes the manpage is short and iconic and that's fine. Not every function needs a whole monologue. 🧚

Bestie note: the page tells you what it does (free all receive software resources) and nothing more — no extra promises, no secret behaviours, so don't go inventing any. 🙈
