fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… 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 πŸŽ€. It's a lil function that reads 32-bit registers and does math, and honestly? She's lowkey iconic for it.


✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_read_hw_stats_32b β€” reads the value of 32-bit registers, fr fr 🌸


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

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 πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • hw β€” pointer to the hardware structure. This is the hardware bestie in question 🫢
  • addr β€” the address of the register containing a 32-bit value. Yes, a 32-bit value, keep up πŸ’…
  • stat β€” pointer to the structure holding hw stat information. The stats live here, no cap πŸ“Š

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

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 ✨

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 πŸ’€

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