💖 NAME 💖

okay so liquidio_xmit is literally: Transmit networks packets to the Octeon interface 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature, no cap:

netdev_tx_t liquidio_xmit (struct sk_buff *skb , struct net_device
       *netdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

vibe check on the args, bestie:

• skb — the skbuff struct that gets passed to the network layer 🫶
