ENUM DPSW_COUNTER(9)

💅 enum dpsw_counter(9)

ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a little enum from the DPAA2 switch world and it's literally just a list of counters. no vibes-heavy logic, no scary pointers, just "what are we counting bestie?" energy. it's giving spreadsheet but make it ✨kernel✨.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum dpsw_counter — Counters types 🎀

like. the types of counters. that's the whole thing. short king.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ok here's the lineup, no cap, exactly as the kernel wrote it:

enum dpsw_counter {
    DPSW_CNT_ING_FRAME ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_BYTE ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_FLTR_FRAME ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_FRAME_DISCARD ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_MCAST_FRAME ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_MCAST_BYTE ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_BCAST_FRAME ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_BCAST_BYTES ,
    DPSW_CNT_EGR_FRAME ,
    DPSW_CNT_EGR_BYTE ,
    DPSW_CNT_EGR_FRAME_DISCARD ,
    DPSW_CNT_EGR_STP_FRAME_DISCARD ,
    DPSW_CNT_ING_NO_BUFF_DISCARD

};

(not me noticing BCAST_FRAMES is singular and BCAST_BYTES is plural 🙈 that's canon, don't touch it, that's the source.)

🦋 Constants 🦋

okay so every single member, one by one, because we do not skip. 💅

• DPSW_CNT_ING_FRAME — Counts ingress frames. frames coming in, bestie. 🫶
• DPSW_CNT_ING_BYTE — Counts ingress bytes. yes, bytes, plural-coded, singular-named, iconic.
• DPSW_CNT_ING_FLTR_FRAME — Counts filtered ingress frames. the ones the filter said "not today" to ✨
• DPSW_CNT_ING_FRAME_DISCARD — Counts discarded ingress frame. yes it says "frame" singular. we respect it. 😤
• DPSW_CNT_ING_MCAST_FRAME — Counts ingress multicast frames. one frame to many besties 📣
• DPSW_CNT_ING_MCAST_BYTE — Counts ingress multicast bytes. same energy, byte edition.
• DPSW_CNT_ING_BCAST_FRAME — Counts ingress broadcast frames. screaming into the whole VLAN 🗣️
• DPSW_CNT_ING_BCAST_BYTES — Counts ingress broadcast bytes. lowercase BYTES glow-up, we love a plot twist 💀
• DPSW_CNT_EGR_FRAME — Counts egress frames. frames leaving. main character exit 🚪✨
• DPSW_CNT_EGR_BYTE — Counts egress bytes. bye-bye bytes 👋
• DPSW_CNT_EGR_FRAME_DISCARD — Counts discarded egress frames. they did NOT make it out 😭
• DPSW_CNT_EGR_STP_FRAME_DISCARD — Counts egress STP discarded frames. STP said no 💅
• DPSW_CNT_ING_NO_BUFF_DISCARD — Counts ingress no buffer discarded frames. no buffer, no entry, the door was locked 🔥

fr fr that's all 13. thirteen little counters. count them. i did. twice. 🧚

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

bestie the cross-references go crazy here. like genuinely a whole friend group:

and then, deep breath:

like ok go off, entire networking stack 🫶

🎀 the sign-off 🎀

this lil page lives over at ./drivers/net/ethernet/freesca... (yes the path got cropped in the footer, that's just how the man page do) and it's stamped October 2026 — so it's from the future, lowkey iconic. the manual name is enum dpsw_counter(9) and that's a wrap bestie, slay, go count some frames 🔥💜🌸
