ixgbevf_free_rx_resources(9)

👑 NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel internals, iykyk) — today's main character is ixgbevf_free_rx_resources, and its whole job is literally Free Rx Resources. that's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

void ixgbevf_free_rx_resources (struct ixgbevf_ring *rx_ring );

it's giving void, meaning it hands nothing back to you — no return value, no drama, just vibes and freed memory. 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS

• rx_ring — the ring you're cleaning the resources from. she's the one getting the glow-up (well, the clean-up 💅).

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Free all receive software resources. 🧚

like, all of them. the receive-side software resources? consider them released. periodt. ✨

ngl this page is short and that's iconic of it — no cap, there's genuinely nothing more to say here, so don't go looking for extra lore that isn't there. 💀
