STRUCT GNET_STATS_QUEUE(9)

💅 struct gnet_stats_queue(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — the page is struct gnet_stats_queue. yes it's a struct. yes it's about stats. yes we're gonna make it cute.

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct gnet_stats_queue — literally just queuing statistics 🎀 that's the whole assignment.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, no cap:

struct gnet_stats_queue {
    __u32 qlen;
    __u32 backlog;
    __u32 drops;
    __u32 requeues;
    __u32 overlimits;
 };

five little __u32 fields, all in a row, all holding numbers. look at them. icons. 👑

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so let's go field by field, because every single one matters and i'm not skipping a single one:

• qlen — the queue length. that's it. that's the field. 💖
• backlog — the backlog size of queue. how much stuff is hanging out back there waiting. 🫶
• drops — the number of dropped packets 😭 rip to those packets, they were doing their best.
• requeues — the number of requeues. when a packet gets put back in line. main character energy, honestly.
• overlimits — the number of enqueues over the limit 🔥 like when the queue is full and you're still trying to add stuff. bold of you.

ngl these are all just __u32 counters — every one of them, no exceptions, no sneaky __u64 hiding in there. slay for consistency ✨
