💅 libeth_xsk_run_pass

okay bestie, so like — welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for libeth_xsk_run_pass(9), and trust me when i say this one is a whole helper situation. it's giving "middle management but make it iconic." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

libeth_xsk_run_pass — a helper that runs your XDP program and then deals with whatever chaotic result comes back. no cap, that's literally the job. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

libeth_xsk_run_pass (xdp , bq , napi , rs , desc , run , populate );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • xdp — the XSk buffer we're processing. this is the main character of the function, bestie. 👑
  • bq — the XDP Tx bulk, aka the queue where all the XDP_TX frames get sent. think of it as the outbox. 📤
  • napi — the NAPI that builds an skb and hands it up the stack. it's the one doing the ✨upward mobility✨ thing.
  • rs — the onstack libeth RQ stats. yes, that's stats that live on the stack. cozy. 🫶
  • desc — pointer to the HW descriptor for that frame. just a pointer, doing pointer things. 💀
  • run — your driver wrapper that actually runs the XDP program. the designated runner, the one sent to do the errand. 🏃‍♀️
  • populate — driver callback that fills an skb with the HW descriptor data. it's the "put the data in the thing" callback, and honestly? slay. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: this is a wrapper around the underscored version — and it exists for when "fill the descriptor metadata" just means writing the pointer to the HW descriptor as xdp->desc.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. lowkey elegant, highkey useful. ✨

like, go read these too bestie, they're all in the kernel file ./include/net/libeth/xsk.h:

ngl bestie, that's a long list of friends. but like, iykyk — the kernel header family is huge and they all hang out together. 🦋

and that's the page! mwah 💋 this little number comes to you from ./include/net/libeth, dated October 2026 — periodt, that's the vibe check done. stay slay, read your headers, and remember: <rainbow>every pointer deserves a bestie</rainbow> 🌈💜
