nfp_net_rx_ring_bufs_alloc(9)

💖 NAME 💖

nfp_net_rx_ring_bufs_alloc — okay bestie so this one fills up the RX ring with buffers, but here's the tea: it does not hand them over to the firmware. Like at all. Not even a little. 🙅‍♀️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nfp_net_rx_ring_bufs_alloc(struct nfp_net_dp *dp,
                               struct nfp_net_rx_ring *rx_ring);

She returns an int, she takes two pointers, she's giving very much "I have a job and I'm gonna do it." 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dp — the NFP Net data path struct 🦋 like, the whole vibe of the datapath lives in here.
• rx_ring — the RX ring we're pulling buffers out of. Yes, the manual literally says "RX ring to remove buffers from" — I'm not making the rules, I'm just telling you what they are, iykyk 😭
