atl1e_irq_disable(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 atl1e_irq_disable(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: it's a Kernel API Manual moment (yes that's the manual name, we're fancy here ✨) and today's main character is atl1e_irq_disable. no cap, she's a little function with one job and she does it.

✨ NAME ✨

atl1e_irq_disable — masks off interrupt generation on the NIC 🦋

like… she literally tells the network card to stop yelling at the CPU for a sec. that's the whole vibe check.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void atl1e_irq_disable (struct atl1e_adapter *adapter );

returns void, so don't come looking for a return value, there isn't one, periodt. 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • adapter — the board private structure 💅 like, the driver's own lil data blob for this adapter. that's the one (and only) thing you hand her.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the source file itself, right here in the kernel tree:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atl1e/atl1e_main.c

and now the whole friend group — the entire atl1e ensemble cast, no one left out 💜:

iykyk, it's a whole squad 🧚 and yes atl1e_irq_enable(9) is right there at the top — she's the one who unmasks everything again, the literal inverse of this page, obsessed with that for them 💀

ngl, masking interrupts is a do not skip this situation — if you don't turn them back on with atl1e_irq_enable(9) at some point, that NIC is just gonna sit there silent, and not in a cute way 😭

that's the page!! mwah 💋

sign-off szn: this lil beauty lives down in ./drivers/net/ethernet/atheros... (the source path got truncated by the manpage formatter, not by me, blame the footer 🙈) and it's dated October 2026 — mark your calendars bestie, she's from the future ⭐💜
