okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’– β€” we're doing velocity_rx_reset(9) today and honestly? it's a whole little vibe. lowkey short page, highkey important.


🌸 NAME 🌸

velocity_rx_reset β€” handle a receive reset

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void velocity_rx_reset (struct velocity_info *vptr );

like, that's the whole signature. no cap. 🫢

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • vptr β€” the velocity we are resetting πŸ’…

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

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. 🧹✨

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. πŸ‘‘
