ixgbevf_is_non_eop(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ixgbevf_is_non_eop (9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat for one (1) extremely specific kernel function 🫶 it's ixgbevf_is_non_eop, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbevf_is_non_eop — literally the whole job of this one is handling non-EOP buffers 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ixgbevf_is_non_eop (struct ixgbevf_ring *rx_ring , union
ixgbe_adv_rx_desc *rx_desc );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rx_ring — the Rx ring currently being processed, aka the main character of this lil operation 👑
  • rx_desc — the Rx descriptor for the current buffer, the one we're doing a vibe check on 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does it do? It updates next to clean. That's step one, no cap ✨

Then it does a little fork-in-the-road moment:

  • if the buffer is an EOP buffer, this function exits returning false 😌 — like, "nope, this one's done, we're out"
  • otherwise, it places the sk_buff in the next buffer to be chained, and returns true 🌈 — indicating that this is in fact a non-EOP buffer, bestie, exactly like the name promised fr fr
ngl the naming on this one is genuinely icon behavior — it tells you what it returns and everything 🧚

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

The kernel file lives here, bestie, come visit:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c

and here's the whole extended friend group, all of them, no gatekeeping 💅:

💀 lowkey that's a LOT of functions but we read all of them, bestie, we did not skip a single one 🙈

kay that's the whole page!! source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026, which honestly feels like the future but okay go off calendar 🗓️✨ this has been your girl signing off — ixgbevf_is_non_eop(9), October 2026, periodt 💅💖🎀
