fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b(9)
π fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b β ok so this is from the Kernel API Manual bestie
Hi hi! Today we're looking at fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual π. It's a lil function that reads 32-bit registers and does math, and honestly? She's lowkey iconic for it.
β¨ NAME β¨
fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b β reads the value of 32-bit registers, fr fr πΈ
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
u32 fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b (struct fm10k_hw *hw , u32 addr , struct
fm10k_hw_stat *stat );
Like, she takes three things and gives you back a u32. Simple. Clean. Main character energy π
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ pointer to the hardware structure. This is the hardware bestie in question π«Άaddrβ the address of the register containing a 32-bit value. Yes, a 32-bit value, keep up πstatβ pointer to the structure holding hw stat information. The stats live here, no cap π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
Okay so here's the tea β: the function reads the content of the register, and then it returns the delta between the base and the current value. That's it. That's the whole vibe β read the register, subtract the base, hand you the difference β¨
Not me explaining subtraction to you, but like, it's literally the base vs. the current value and you get the gap between them. Periodt π

π mwah, ty for reading π This lil gem comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... (the file path got cut off in the original, not my fault π) and it's dated October 2026, filed under fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b(9). Byeee, go read some registers ππ¦
