ntb_transport_rx_remove(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, gather round — ntb_transport_rx_remove is literally the function that dequeues enqueued rx packet. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she takes the packets out of the queue ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * ntb_transport_rx_remove (struct ntb_transport_qp *qp , unsigned
int *len );

like... she returns a void * and she's got two whole arguments, and bestie you will be seeing those in a sec 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• qp — the NTB queue that's about to be freed 🫶 like, this is the queue we're packing up, sorry girl
• len — pointer to the variable where we write the enqueued buffers length 📝 so you hand her a spot in memory and she fills in how long those buffers were

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what she actually does — she dequeues the unused buffers from the receive queue, periodt 💅

⚠️ but ngl there's a rule, and it's non-negotiable: she should only be used during shutdown of qp. that's her one and only window, bestie. don't be out here calling her mid-gig 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• NULL → that's your error value on error 😭
• void* → that's your success slay 🔥

no cap, those are the two options and there is no third one.
