💅 ixgbevf_msix_clean_rings — the Kernel API Manual files, bestie

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, page ixgbevf_msix_clean_rings(9), and it's literally one function doing one very specific lil job. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_msix_clean_rings — single unshared vector rx clean (all queues)

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one interrupt vector, not shared with anybody, cleaning the rx side, and it's doing it across all the queues. main character energy fr 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

irqreturn_t ixgbevf_msix_clean_rings (int irq , void *data );

look at her go. returns an irqreturn_t, takes an int and a void *. iconic signature, no notes.

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• irq — unused. yeah. literally just sitting there. she's decoration, she's a vibe, she's not doing anything 💀
• data — pointer to our q_vector struct for this interrupt vector. this one's the whole point — it's our q_vector, for this interrupt vector, and that's what makes it useful 🦋

ngl that's a lot of cross-references but every single one earned its spot 🫶

okay bye bestie!! mwah 💖
