💅 qeth_count_elements(9)

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for qeth_count_elements — and it's literally here to count the number of QDIO buffer elements needed to transmit an skb. no cap. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

qeth_count_elements — counts the number of QDIO buffer elements needed to transmit an skb. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned int qeth_count_elements (struct sk_buff *skb , unsigned int
       data_offset );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the skb to operate on. 💖
• data_offset — skip this part of the skb's linear data. 🦋

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So it returns the number of pages — and therefore QDIO buffer elements — needed to map the skb's data, both its linear part and its paged fragments. that's the whole vibe. ✨
