nfp_net_rx_ring_reset(9)

💅 nfp_net_rx_ring_reset(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel one, we're doing big-girl kernel things today 🎀 this is nfp_net_rx_ring_reset, and ngl it's a short one, but she's important.

✨ NAME ✨

nfp_net_rx_ring_reset — reflect in SW state of freelist after disable 🦋

like, that's the whole vibe: the hardware got disabled, and now the software side of the freelist needs to catch up and reflect that. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void nfp_net_rx_ring_reset (struct nfp_net_rx_ring *rx_ring );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she returns void, meaning she gives you nothing back — she's not here to hand you a return value, she's here to do the work and ghost 😭👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rx_ring — the RX ring structure 💫 that's your one and only parameter, and she's the star of the show.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so the tea: this function assumes that the device is stopped — like, fully stopped, do not pass go, do not collect $200 💀 and it must be idempotent.

🫶 idempotent means you can call it over and over and it stays giving the same result — calling it twice doesn't wreck anything, it's just her doing her little reset thing again. the more you know, iykyk

the way the device is assumed stopped is not a suggestion, bestie — it's a whole precondition. don't come at her with a running device.
