wx_clean_tx_ring(9)

💖 wx_clean_tx_ring(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're literally in the kernel API section, this is the real deal ✨ and today's main character is wx_clean_tx_ring, a function so iconic it frees Tx buffers. periodt.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

wx_clean_tx_ring — Free Tx Buffers 💅 that's it, that's the whole vibe, it cleans up the transmit ring's buffers and lets them go. so cathartic honestly.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void wx_clean_tx_ring (struct wx_ring *tx_ring );

like, it returns void (nothing comes back, no drama) and it takes exactly one thing. lowkey minimal. iykyk.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tx_ring — the ring to be cleaned 🧹✨ yes queen, wipe it down, that's the one and only argument. it's a struct wx_ring *, and it's the ring that's getting the full cleanup treatment. no cap.
