nfp_net_rx_ring_init(9)

💅 NAME 💅

nfp_net_rx_ring_init — the little glow-up routine that fills in all the boilerplate for a RX ring ✨

okay so real talk, this manual page is part of the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name bestie, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic." no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void nfp_net_rx_ring_init (struct nfp_net_rx_ring *rx_ring , struct
nfp_net_r_vector *r_vec , unsigned int idx );

like literally that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't be weird about the spacing 💖

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• rx_ring — the RX ring structure itself, the main character of this whole operation 👑
• r_vec — the IRQ vector that's servicing this ring, the supportive bestie fr fr
• idx — the ring index, just the number that tells you which ring we're talking about 🦋
