π pch_gbe_alloc_rx_buffers(9) π
okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual β like, kernel-level, no cap. it's about pch_gbe_alloc_rx_buffers, and honestly the name alone is giving main character energy π
β¨ NAME β¨
pch_gbe_alloc_rx_buffers β replace used receive buffers; legacy & extended πΈ
like, it swaps out the receive buffers that already got used up. both the legacy flavor and the extended one. slay.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void pch_gbe_alloc_rx_buffers (struct pch_gbe_adapter *adapter , struct
pch_gbe_rx_ring *rx_ring , int cleaned_count );
so it's a void function, meaning it doesn't hand you anything back β it just does the thing. periodt. π
π ARGUMENTS π
adapterβ the board private structure π«Ά like, the adapter's own little private corner of data, yk?rx_ringβ the Rx descriptor ring π the ring where the receive descriptors live.cleaned_countβ cleaned count β¨ literally just the cleaned count, that's the whole vibe.
