💖 netdev_txq_b...ue_prefetchw(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is about netdev_txq_b...ue_prefetchw(9), and we’re gonna make it make sense. periodt ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

netdev_txq_bql_enqueue_prefetchw — prefetch bql data for write. That’s the name, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void netdev_txq_bql_enqueue_prefetchw (struct netdev_queue *dev_queue );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev_queue — pointer to transmit queue. she’s the one getting pointed at 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So here’s the tea: BQL enabled drivers might use this helper in their ndo_start_xmit, to give appropriate hint to the CPU. That’s literally the whole description, and honestly it’s giving main-character micro-helper energy 😭🔥
