pch_gbe_free_rx_resources(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… pch_gbe_free_rx_resources(9) β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

Okay so picture this: we're deep in the kernel, in the pch_gbe driver, and it's time to say bye-bye to some receive resources. This page is literally that whole vibe. It's pch_gbe_free_rx_resources(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's as iconic as it sounds πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

pch_gbe_free_rx_resources β€” Free Rx Resources. That's it, that's the whole thing. It frees the Rx resources. Slay. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void pch_gbe_free_rx_resources (struct pch_gbe_adapter *adapter , struct
       pch_gbe_rx_ring *rx_ring );

Notice the void? Nothing comes back. It just does the thing and dips. No return value, no vibe check needed. ✨


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter β€” the board private structure 🫢 like, the whole adapter's personal little info stash
  • rx_ring β€” the ring to clean the resources from πŸ’– this is the one getting the glow-up/cleanup treatment

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

So there's a lot here, and honestly the way this list goes on is giving main character energy. The kernel file lives at:

./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_main.c

Ngl there are no extra warnings or bug notes on this one β€” it's a clean little free-and-done page. Obsessed. πŸ’€

And that's the page, bestie! Sign-off time: source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... and it's dated October 2026, so yeah β€” it's giving futuristic manual energy πŸŒˆβ­πŸ¦‹πŸ’–
