STRUCT PCH_GBE_RX_DESC(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct pch_gbe_rx_desc — the Receive Descriptor, bestie!! it's literally the little data structure that tells you all about a received frame 🫶 this is from the Kernel API Manual, and we're gonna get into it ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole shape of it, no cap, copy it exactly:

struct pch_gbe_rx_desc {
    u32 buffer_addr;
    u32 tcp_ip_status;
    u16 rx_words_eob;
    u16 gbec_status;
    u8 dma_status;
    u8 reserved1;
    u16 reserved2;
 };

like, that's the whole vibe of the struct 💅

🎀 MEMBERS 🎀

• buffer_addr — RX Frame Buffer Address. this is where the received frame's buffer lives, iconic ✨
• tcp_ip_status — TCP/IP Accelerator Status 👑
• rx_words_eob — RX word count and Byte position. both things, one field, multitasking queen 💅
• gbec_status — GMAC Status 🌸
• dma_status — DMA Status 🔥
• reserved1 — Reserved. it's reserved, we don't touch it, we respect it 🙈
• reserved2 — Reserved. same energy, also reserved, also not our business 💀
