💅 libeth_xdp_xmit_queue_head(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual bestie 🎀

okay so hi!! welcome to the glow-up of the internal helper for queueing one XDP xmit head ✨ this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's short but she's important, so pay attention 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

libeth_xdp_xmit_queue_head — the internal helper for queueing one XDP xmit head. lowkey a lil' workhorse, no cap 🌸

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

u32 libeth_xdp_xmit_queue_head (struct libeth_xdp_tx_bulk *bq , struct xdp_frame *xdpf , struct device *dev );

that's literally the whole vibe up there ⭐

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • bq — the XDP Tx bulk you're queueing the head frag to 🎀 like, this is where it goes.
  • xdpf — the XDP frame that's carrying the head you wanna queue 🦋
  • dev — the device that's gonna do the DMA mapping, bestie 💅 she's the one doing the actual work.

👑 RETURN 👑

the function gives you back a u32, and the value tells you what happened:

  • LIBETH_XDP_DROP — on a DMA mapping error 😭 things went wrong, it's a drop.
  • LIBETH_XDP_PASS — if it's the only frag in the frame 💜 one frag, that's it, pass.
  • LIBETH_XDP_TX — if it's an S/G frame 🔥 scatter/gather, babes, we're transmitting.
not me giving you three whole outcomes — read the return value, bestie, it literally tells you which branch of destiny you're in 💀
