💅 write_ofld_wr(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to the write_ofld_wr(9) page 💖 this is a kernel API manual moment, and honestly? it's giving "let me hand you a packet that already knows what it wants to be." stay with me, it's short and slay.

✨ NAME ✨

write_ofld_wr — write an offload work request 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void write_ofld_wr (struct adapter *adap , struct sk_buff *skb , struct
sge_txq *q , unsigned int pidx , unsigned int gen , unsigned int ndesc ,
const dma_addr_t *addr );

yes that's the whole signature, no cap, and yes it's a void — this function does the thing and doesn't come back to tell you about it 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adap — the adapter 💜
  • skb — the packet to send ✨
  • q — the Tx queue 🌈
  • pidx — index of the first Tx descriptor to write 🔥
  • gen — the generation value to use ⭐
  • ndesc — number of descriptors the packet will occupy 👑
  • addr — the address 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the vibe: you call this and it writes an offload work request to send the packet you supplied. main character energy.

here's the cute part — the packet data already carry the work request, with most fields populated 😭 so like, it shows up dressed and ready, and this function is just the friend who writes it into the descriptor ring. no cap, that's the whole job.
