like, it takes two pointers and hands you back an int. short king. iconic. π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
adapterβ the board's private structure π literally the main character of this whole driver, she holds everythingrx_ringβ the Rx descriptor ring (for a specific queue, iykyk) that we're setting up β¨

bestie that's the whole squad, all (9) sections, all present and accounted for. not one dropped. π
anyway that's the page π§ lowkey a short one, highkey a useful one. this came to you from the kernel doc source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... (yes it's truncated in the footer, she's mysterious like that π
) and the date stamp says October 2026, so future-you can come back and vibe check it. stay hydrated, read your manpages, mwah πππ
