velocity_rx_reset(9)
β¨ velocity_rx_reset(9) β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π β we're doing velocity_rx_reset(9) today and honestly? it's a whole little vibe. lowkey short page, highkey important.
πΈ NAME πΈ
velocity_rx_reset β handle a receive reset
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void velocity_rx_reset (struct velocity_info *vptr );
like, that's the whole signature. no cap. π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
vptrβ the velocity we are resetting π
π DESCRIPTION π
Okay so picture this: the receive ring side is out here with stale ownership and stale status, and that's not the vibe. This function resets all of that β ownership, status, the whole situation β for the receive ring side. π§Ήβ¨
Then it hands all the receive queue over to the NIC. every last bit of it. the NIC gets the keys to the whole rx queue, periodt. π

that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it up π
π mwah. this little drop came from the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/via and it's dated October 2026 β screenshot it, cite it, frame it, whatever, it's iconic now ππ¦β
