π NAME π
octep_vf_oq_refill β the glow-up function that refills buffers for used Rx ring descriptors β¨
okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, we're not copying the fancy header line, we're just folding it in here like a good hostess π), and it's literally about topping up your Rx ring's buffer supply. Nothing more, nothing less. Periodt.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int octep_vf_oq_refill (struct octep_vf_device *oct , struct octep_vf_oq
*oq );
Like, that's the whole signature. Two args, one int back. She's compact, she's iconic, she's giving minimalist main character energy π
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
octβ the Octeon device private data structure. You know, the big one. The one that holds all the device's little secrets πoqβ the Octeon Rx queue data structure. The queue in question. The one getting refilled. Her moment to shine πΈ
π RETURN π
Returns the number of descriptors successfully refilled with receive buffers π
That's it. That's the number. Count 'em, bestie β no cap, that count is the entire point of the return value.
