STRUCT PCH_GBE_BUFFER(9)

🦋 struct pch_gbe_buffer 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat 💖. this page is all about struct pch_gbe_buffer, and it is giving “buffer information but make it iconic.” no cap, it’s a C struct, so let’s get into it 🎀.

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct pch_gbe_buffer — buffer information. that’s the name, and honestly she ate: it’s literally the buffer info struct ✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct pch_gbe_buffer {
    struct sk_buff *skb;
    dma_addr_t dma;
    unsigned char *rx_buffer;
    unsigned long time_stamp;
    u16 length;
    bool mapped;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• skb — pointer to a socket buffer. lowkey the main character slot 🫶
• dma — DMA address. that’s the whole vibe, periodt 💅
• time_stamp — time stamp. she’s keeping track of the moment ⏰
• length — data size. how much data we’re talking about, fr fr 📏

btw, the struct code block also has rx_buffer and mapped in it. the Members section on this page only gives blurbs for skb, dma, time_stamp, and length — keeping it exactly as the manual says 💖
