📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 libeth_xdp_return_stash ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a tiny little function with main character energy — it's the cleanup queen 🧹✨. She's short, she's sweet, and if you skip her your queue leaks. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

libeth_xdp_return_stash — free an XDP buffer stash from a queue 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void libeth_xdp_return_stash (struct libeth_xdp_buff_stash *stash );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • stash — the stash you're freeing, bestie. that's it. that's the whole argument 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe check: your queue is about to be destroyed 💀, but plot twist — it's still holding onto an incompleted buffer stash. awkward!! 🙈

if that's the sitch, you should call this helper to free it. that's literally the whole job. she frees the stash so nothing gets left behind. iconic cleanup behaviour, honestly 👑

fr fr: this is the "we're tearing down the queue but the stash is still sitting there" helper. don't leave the stash hanging — call her. 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

literally the whole friend group, ok. the kernel file is ./include/net/libeth/xdp.h, and here's everybody else:

(yes there are two enum (anonymous)(9) entries — that's not a typo, I promise, they're both actually there 😭)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this one lives in ./include/net/libeth and it's dated October 2026 — go free that stash and slay the teardown 💜✨
