e1000_intr_msi(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 e1000_intr_msi 💖

straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so. this one's a lil function from the kernel's networking corner and she is literally the interrupt handler. no cap. that's her whole job description and she ate 💅

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_intr_msi — Interrupt Handler 🎀

like… that's it. that's the name. short, iconic, does exactly what it says on the tin. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

irqreturn_t e1000_intr_msi (int irq , void *data );

look at her. three little pieces — a return type, a name, and two args. she's giving minimalist main character energy 🦋 (and yes, keep the spaces around those commas exactly like that, iykyk)

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • irq — the interrupt number 🔥 like, which interrupt are we talking about, bestie? that number. that's the one.
  • data — a pointer to a network interface device structure 🌈 it's a pointer, it's void, it's carrying the whole netdev situation on its shoulders and honestly? relatable.
ngl, if you're passing something that is not a pointer to a network interface device structure into that data slot, that's on you 🙈 the page tells you what it wants, so give it what it wants.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this is the part where she shows you her entire friend group and bestie, the group chat is huge. first, the home address:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c 📁 that's where she lives.

and now the whole crew, in order, no one gets left out (i would never 😭):

like. ninety-ish cross-references. she is connected 👑 the way she knows every single one of these by name?? we love a well-documented queen.

mwah 💋 that's the whole page.

oh and before i go — the footer energy: this lil doc is sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e... (yes, truncated like that, don't come for me, that's just how it's printed 🙈) and she's dated October 2026. so she's from the future, she's gorgeous, and she's still just an interrupt handler. we stan. 🫶✨🎀
