wx_setup_rx_resources(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ wx_setup_rx_resources — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so this is wx_setup_rx_resources(9), straight out of the kernel API manual, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're on FaceTime at 2am 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

wx_setup_rx_resources — allocate Rx resources (Descriptors). That's it. That's the whole vibe. It's the function that goes "hey bestie, we need somewhere to put the receive descriptors" and then does it 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int wx_setup_rx_resources (struct wx_ring *rx_ring );

Lowkey the whole signature fits on one line. Iconic of it, honestly.

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • rx_ring — the rx descriptor ring (for a specific queue) that you wanna set up. It's a struct wx_ring *, and it's the one specific queue's ring, not all of them, okay? One ring. Singular. Main character energy but for exactly one queue ✨

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does it actually do? Returns 0 on success, and a negative value on failure. That's the entire documented contract, no cap. Zero? Slay, you're good. Negative? Something went sideways, go check 🫶

Ngl that's all the description gives us, so I'm not gonna sit here and invent lore. 0 = good, negative = not good. Periodt 💀

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

Where does this live? Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/libwx/wx_lib.c — go say hi 🌈

And here's the whole friend group, all of them, in order, because I would never do you dirty by trimming the list:

Thirty-four of them. I counted. Obsessed with a thorough cross-reference section honestly 👑

And that's the page!! Signing off with the source/version line ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun... and the date October 2026 — so like, future-dated bestie behavior, we love a timestamp that's ahead of us 🦋💜 Go set up that rx ring, you've got this. Mwah 💋
