bnx2x_interrupt(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 bnx2x_interrupt — non MSI-X interrupt handler

okay bestie, so we're in the kernel API manual, and today's main character is bnx2x_interrupt(9), aka the non MSI-X interrupt handler. yes that's the whole NAME section and honestly? it ate. short, sweet, no notes. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

this is the whole signature, don't blink:

irqreturn_t bnx2x_interrupt (int irq , void *dev_instance );

like, that's it. that's the function. she's serving function prototype and we respect her for it. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

two args, both iconic in their own way:

  • irq — the irq number 💫 the literal number of the interrupt, showing up to the function like "hi, it's me."
  • dev_instance — the private instance 🦋 your very own private instance, handed over as void * and ready to hang out.

no cap, that's the full guest list. two entries. we keep it tight here. 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this is the part where the manpage goes absolutely feral and lists literally everyone. it's giving group chat with 58 members and every single one is a (9) function. no skips, no "i'll read it later", we're doing the whole vibe check. ⭐

The kernel file (yes, the actual source of truth):

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.h — that's the header, that's where the magic allegedly lives 💅

And the whole extended bnx2x family reunion:

like??? that's the entire extended family showing up to the function's birthday party. lowkey obsessed with how thorough this list is. iykyk. 💜

quick vibe check bestie: this page is short, so there's literally nothing to skip — every detail up there is the whole page. go read the SEE ALSO entries, they're where the real lore lives. 🌈

and that's the tea 🍓 this lil bnx2x moment comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yes, truncated like that, i don't make the rules) and it's dated October 2026. slay, see you in the next manpage, mwah 💖✨👑
