πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

okay bestie let's meet the whole cast, one by one:

  • rxq β€” the rx queue. that's her home base, her main character location 🌸
  • head_skb β€” the first skb in the list. the head of the friend group, the one who walks in front πŸ‘‘
  • left_pkt_len β€” the left size of the pkt, and to be clear that's excluding head skb. so it's the leftover length, the part that didn't fit in the head. no cap πŸ“
  • ci β€” the consumer index. iykyk 🧚
