velocity_xmit(9)

💖 velocity_xmit — transmit packet callback 💖

okay so bestie, you opened the Kernel API Manual and landed on velocity_xmit. she's lowkey iconic: literally the transmit packet callback. the way this page is about to make sense? obsessed. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

velocity_xmit — transmit packet callback. no cap, that's the name and the whole job description. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is giving "kernel function realness":

       netdev_tx_t velocity_xmit (struct sk_buff *skb , struct net_device *dev
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — buffer to transmit. it's the packet-carrying bestie. 📦
• dev — network device. the device that's doing the networking, periodt. 🌐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the network layer calls velocity_xmit when it wants a packet queued to the velocity. that's the whole assignment, bestie. returns zero on success — zero is the success vibe here, fr fr. ✨

mwah 💋 this lil page is signing off from source/version ./drivers/net/ethernet/via, dated October 2026, and it's literally the velocity_xmit(9) page. byeee 🫶
