octep_vf_oq..._hw_for_pkts(9)

💅 NAME

okay so bestie, say hi to octep_vf_oq_check_hw_for_pkts — it's literally the little function that goes and checks if the hardware has any new Rx packets waiting for you 👀✨ (yes, this is the Kernel API Manual, we're doing big-kernel-girl things today).

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

no cap, here's the whole signature, character for character, don't touch it:

int octep_vf_oq_check_hw_for_pkts (struct octep_vf_device *oct , struct
       octep_vf_oq *oq );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

two little besties walk into a function 🫶

• oct — the Octeon device private data structure. it's giving "main character device struct" 👑
• oq — the Octeon Rx queue data structure. this is the queue we're vibe-checking 🌈

---

🌸 RETURN

the number of packets received since the last time you checked. that's it, that's the whole return value 💖 (so if you're like "did anything come in?" — this is your answer, periodt).

lowkey reminder bestie: every single one of those is a real function reference, don't come for me if you skip one 💀

mwah, that's a wrap 💜 this cutie came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell..., dated October 2026, and the page tag is literally octep_vf_oq..._hw_for_pkts(9) — slay, go read some Rx code now, iykyk 🎀🦋✨
