π wx_is_non_eop(9) β Kernel API Manual energy β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the wx_is_non_eop(9) page π this is a kernel API manual entry, we're in the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> section, and honestly? it's giving niche-but-important. stay with me.
πΈ NAME πΈ
wx_is_non_eop β the whole vibe of handling non-EOP buffers π¦ (process handling of non-EOP buffers, if you're being formal about it)
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
bool wx_is_non_eop (struct wx_ring *rx_ring , union wx_rx_desc *rx_desc
, struct sk_buff *skb );
like, it returns a bool, takes three things, and we're gonna talk about all three, don't worry π
π ARGUMENTS π
rx_ringβ the Rx ring that's currently being processed, bestie. that's the one.rx_descβ the Rx descriptor for the current buffer. yes, current. keep up πskbβ the current socket buffer, and it's holding the buffer that's still in progress π«Ά
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
so here's the tea β this function updates next to clean. that's it, that's the first thing it does, no cap.
then the vibe check happens: if the buffer is an <hotpink>EOP buffer</hotpink>, this function exits and returns false. that's the whole mood. bye. π
otherwise β like, if it's not EOP β it places the sk_buff in the next buffer to be chained, and returns true, indicating that this is in fact a non-EOP buffer π literally exactly what the name says, iconic behavior honestly.
so to recap the duality of this function:
- buffer is EOP β return
false, we're done here π - buffer is not EOP β chain that
sk_buffinto the next buffer, returntrueπ₯
periodt. that's the whole function. and yet it's out here doing the most important little job in the Rx path, we stan π
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
first up, the kernel file that lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/libwx/wx_lib.c β go read it, iykyk π

ngl this page is short but it matters, so don't scroll past the return values, they're the entire point π
and that's the page!! πΈ this cutie came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun... and it's dated <purple>October 2026</purple>, and the whole thing is filed under wx_is_non_eop(9) β mwah, sending you off with a kiss and a <rainbow>slay</rainbow> πβ¨π
