netif_napi_add_config(9)

okay bestie, welcome to netif_napi_add_config(9) from the Kernel API Manual — section 9, iykyk 😌✨. This page is literally about initializing a NAPI context with persistent config, and it's giving “short but important” energy. Let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

netif_napi_add_config — initialize a NAPI context with persistent config.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature, no cap:

void netif_napi_add_config (struct net_device *dev , struct napi_struct
       *napi , int (*poll)(struct napi_struct *, int) , int index );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — network device.
• napi — NAPI context.
• poll — polling function. The synopsis types it as int (*poll)(struct napi_struct *, int).
• index — the NAPI index.
