STRUCT HFI1_NETDEV_RXQ(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct hfi1_netdev_rxq β€” a Kernel API Manual moment πŸ’–

Okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little struct. No cap, it's niche, but we're gonna slay it anyway.

✨ NAME ✨

struct hfi1_netdev_rxq β€” the Receive Queue for HFI IPoIB netdevices, which (per the original, word for word) will be working on the rx abstraction. That's the whole vibe: it's the rx-side queen of the show. πŸ‘‘

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct hfi1_netdev_rxq {
    struct napi_struct napi;
    struct hfi1_netdev_rx *rx;
    struct hfi1_ctxtdata *rcd;
 };

Three members, three icons, zero filler. Look at her. πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • napi β€” the napi object. Just... the napi object. That's the whole description and honestly? Iconic minimalism.
  • rx β€” ptr to netdev_rx. A pointer, bestie, so treat it with the respect a pointer deserves. 🫢
  • rcd β€” ptr to receive context data. Also a pointer. Also deserving of respect.
Heads up: the original literally just says "ptr to netdev_rx" and "ptr to receive context data" β€” that's all the tea we have, so I'm not gonna invent more. πŸ™ˆ

  • struct hfi1_netdev_rx(9) β€” her sister page, equally iconic, equally a struct πŸ’œ

And that's the whole page, fr fr. ✨ Little sign-off for you: this beauty lives under ./drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1, and she's dated October 2026 β€” so mark your calendar, bestie, because that's when this struct is officially that girl. πŸŒˆβ­πŸŽ€
