💖 netdev_txq_bql_complete_prefetchw 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes this is genuinely the name of the thing, and yes netdev_txq_...te_prefetchw(9) is the page you just opened. strap in 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

netdev_txq_bql_complete_prefetchw — prefetch bql data for write 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void netdev_txq_bql_complete_prefetchw (struct netdev_queue *dev_queue
);

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• dev_queue — pointer to transmit queue. that's the queue, the transmit one, you're pointing at it. iconic.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so like, drivers that have BQL enabled might use this helper in their TX completion path 👑 — the whole vibe is giving the CPU an appropriate hint. that's the entire job. it prefetches, it hints, it slays, it leaves 💀
