π rt2x00queue_map_txskb(9) β from the Kernel API Manual β¨
okay bestie, gather round, because this is genuinely one of the little worker functions that keeps your Wi-Fi from absolutely falling apart π«Ά it lives in the kernel API manual and it's got main character energy in the most lowkey way possible.
πΈ NAME πΈ
rt2x00queue_map_txskb β maps a skb into DMA so it can go out for TX purposes π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int rt2x00queue_map_txskb (struct queue_entry *entry );
π ARGUMENTS π
entryβ a pointer tostruct queue_entryπ that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea β: this function returns -ENOMEM if the mapping fails, and 0 otherwise. that's literally it, no cap. mapping fail = you get -ENOMEM back, mapping good = you get 0. iconic behavior honestly π¦
ngl, if you see that -ENOMEM come back, the map didn't happen β that's your vibe check failing in the most literal sense π
