napi_if_sch..._mark_missed(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 napi_if_sch..._mark_missed(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, the networking girlies are all up in netdevice.h, and you need to know whether a NAPI is already scheduled. That's the whole vibe of this page. It's a <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> entry, and honestly? She's short, she's sweet, she's doing the most with very little. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

napi_if_scheduled_mark_missed — if napi is running, set the NAPIF_STATE_MISSED 💫

Like yes, that's the entire name and also the entire personality.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool napi_if_scheduled_mark_missed (struct napi_struct *n );

she's a bool, she takes one pointer, she's an icon. periodt.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • n — the NAPI context. that's it. that's the argument. give her a struct napi_struct * and let her cook. 🔥

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here's the tea 🍓:

If napi is running, set the NAPIF_STATE_MISSED, and return true if NAPI is scheduled.

that's literally it bestie — no cap. you call her, and if napi is running she flips on NAPIF_STATE_MISSED, and the return value tells you whether NAPI is scheduled. true means scheduled. the whole thing is giving "one job, done flawlessly." 💅

ngl this is the kind of function that looks tiny and then lives rent-free in the networking code forever. respect.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

strap in, because this list is long and every single one of them is invited to the group chat 🫶 — they all live in the kernel file ./include/linux/netdevice.h:

no seriously, read them all. iykyk. 📚✨

and that's the page, bestie!! 🧚💜 this one came straight outta ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it's still out here being one of the main characters of the netdevice header. slay, honestly. 🎀💖🦋
