💅 rt2x00queue_index_inc(9) — the glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is rt2x00queue_index_inc(9). it's a little function, it's an icon, it does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

rt2x00queue_index_inc — the index incrementation function. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. it increments an index. slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rt2x00queue_index_inc (struct queue_entry *entry , enum queue_index
index );

look at her. void return, so she's not giving you anything back — she just does the thing. lowkey iconic 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• entry — the queue entry (struct queue_entry) you're doing the action on. this is your girl, the one getting the index bump ✨
• index — the index type (enum queue_index) you're doing the action on. which index? that's the tea, you pick 🔥

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the lore, bestie: this function increases the requested index on the entry's queue. no cap, that's the whole job.

but like… she's not reckless about it. she grabs the appropriate locks first (as she should, queen behavior 💅) and she handles queue overflow events by resetting the index back to the start of the queue. so when the index runs off the end, she doesn't panic — she just loops it back around like it's nothing. that's called having main character energy 🧚
