net_dim_init_irq_moder(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet net_dim_init_irq_moder(9) — it's a Kernel API Manual page, and this function's whole thing is to collect information to initialize irq moderation. that's the vibe, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the setup ritual goes like this:

int net_dim_init_irq_moder (struct net_device *dev , u8 profile_flags ,
u8 coal_flags , u8 rx_mode , u8 tx_mode , void (*rx_dim_work)(struct
work_struct *work) , void (*tx_dim_work)(struct work_struct *work) );

the synopsis shows it returns int, and honestly it's giving "wire everything up before the real work starts" energy. 🧚

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay, here's the group chat cast:

• dev — target network device. the main character you're pointing at.
• profile_flags — Rx or Tx profile modification capability.
• coal_flags — irq moderation params flags.
• rx_mode — CQ period mode for Rx.
• tx_mode — CQ period mode for Tx.
• rx_dim_work — Rx worker called after dim decision.
• tx_dim_work — Tx worker called after dim decision.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

the return section is short and sweet: it returns int, and the answer is simple — 0 on success or a negative error code. that's it, periodt. ✨
