💅 libie_ctlq_xn_process_send — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so real talk, we're deep in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is libie_ctlq_xn_process_send(9). Like, the whole entire function. Pull up a chair. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

libie_ctlq_xn_process_send — it processes and sends a control queue message. That's it. That's the whole arc. It's giving "one job, done correctly." 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int libie_ctlq_xn_process_send (struct libie_ctlq_xn_send_params *params
, struct libie_ctlq_xn *xn );

Two args, one int coming back at you. Iconic signature, no notes. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • params — the Xn send param information for sending a control queue message. Like, this is the little info packet that tells everything what to do. It's the main character, honestly. ✨
  • xn — the assigned Xn entry for tracking the control queue message. Think of it as the designated tracker. Someone's gotta keep tabs, and it's xn. 👀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 on success — slay, we ate. ✅
  • -errno on failure — no cap, something went wrong and the error code tells you which flavor of wrong. 😭

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

Bestie, the cross-reference list is long and we're reading all of it. Not me being thorough. Fr fr. 🌈

  • The kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/libie/controlq.c — yes, that's the one, the source of truth, go look at it. 💜

Then the whole friend group, in order:

Go read them all, iykyk. 📚✨

Lowkey reminder: struct libie_ctlq_xn_rel_tx_ctx(9) is literally written with struct in front of it in the original list, so we're keeping that exactly as-is. Copying it wrong would be a crime. 🚨

And that's the page, bestie!! 💜 Written from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/l..., dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under libie_ctlq_xn_process_send(9) because that's just how we do. Mwah! 🎀💖⭐
