ixgbevf_rx_skb(9)

💖 ixgbevf_rx_skb — NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is ixgbevf_rx_skb — a helper function that figures out which Rx method is the right one to use. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the little matchmaker of the receive path 🎀

a page from the Kernel API Manual, no less — we're in the big leagues now ✨

---

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

void ixgbevf_rx_skb (struct ixgbevf_q_vector *q_vector , struct sk_buff
       *skb );

like, literally just two arguments. we love a low-maintenance function signature, no cap 🫶

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• q_vector — the structure holding all the interrupt and ring info. think of it as the group chat where every queue member gets @'d 🔔
• skb — the packet to send up. that's the actual data getting yeeted up the stack 💌

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

bestie there is SO much lore here, and the kernel file to go peep is:

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

ngl the source path got cut off in the footer as ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... but you already knew the full path from up top, bestie, so we're chillin 😌

and that's the page!! thank you for coming to my ted talk 🦋 this gem is from October 2026, sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... — see you in the next manual page, mwah 💖🌸✨
