💅 ixgbevf_free_tx_resources(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbevf_free_tx_resources page from the Kernel API Manual. it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one (1) thing. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_free_tx_resources — Free Tx Resources per Queue 💖

like, the whole personality is in the name. it frees stuff. Tx stuff. per queue. iconic.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ixgbevf_free_tx_resources (struct ixgbevf_ring *tx_ring );

no return value, no drama. it's void, it just does the thing and dips ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tx_ring — Tx descriptor ring for a specific queue. that's the one you're handing over to be freed. one ring, one queue, no cap 🧚

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Free all transmit software resources.

that's it. that's the whole description. not me getting a one-sentence description and still writing a whole page about it 😭 but honestly? sometimes the assignment is simple. this function goes in and releases every last transmit software resource. slay. periodt. 💅
