libeth_xdp_tx_exception(9)

💅 libeth_xdp_tx_exception — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a kernel API manual page from the libeth_xdp_tx_exception(9) girlies, and honestly? it's giving niche but iconic. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME

libeth_xdp_tx_exception — the one that handles Tx exceptions of XDP frames 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

void __cold libeth_xdp_tx_exception (struct libeth_xdp_tx_bulk *bq , u32
sent , u32 flags );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• bq — the XDP Tx frame bulk, aka the whole squad of frames 🫶
• sent — number of frames sent successfully (from this bulk), so like how many actually made it 😭
• flags — internal libeth_xdp flags (XSk, .ndo_xdp_xmit etc.), the little vibe check settings ⭐

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

So this is a cold helper used by __libeth_xdp_tx_flush_bulk, and bestie, please — do not call directly, fr fr 🙈. It's literally internal.

What it does: it reports XDP Tx exceptions, frees the frames that won't be sent, or adjusts the Tx bulk to try again later. The way it just handles the drama and cleans up after everybody 🔥
