okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β we're digging into wx_setup_all_rx_resources today and honestly? it's kind of a big deal. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
wx_setup_all_rx_resources β the girl who allocates all the queues' Rx resources. all of them. every single one. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int wx_setup_all_rx_resources (struct wx *wx );
π ARGUMENTS π
wxβ pointer to the hardware structure, aka the main character of this whole operation π
β DESCRIPTION β
so here's the tea, bestie: if this function returns with an error, it's lowkey possible that one or more of the rings is populated while the rest are justβ¦ sitting there empty. π not all of them, not none of them β some of them. messy.
and because of that, it is the caller's duty to clean up those orphaned rings. yes, you. the caller. it's giving "you break it, you bought it" but for kernel memory. π«Ά
fr fr do not skip the cleanup. those orphaned rings are not gonna free themselves and nobody wants that vibe. π
Return value: 0 on success, negative on failure. that's it, that's the whole mood. β¨
