fm10k_tx_timeout(9)

💖 fm10k_tx_timeout 💖

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual — it's fm10k_tx_timeout(9) and honestly it's giving "emergency group chat at 3am" energy, because that's literally what it does: it's the callback that fires when your Tx queue ghosts you. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_tx_timeout — Respond to a Tx Hang 🌸

like, the transmit queue stopped responding and somebody has to deal with it, and bestie, that somebody is this function.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fm10k_tx_timeout (struct net_device *netdev , unsigned int txqueue
);

it returns void, so no little treat at the end — it just does its thing and dips. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network interface device structure 👑 no cap, this is the main character here: the struct net_device for the interface that's having a moment.
• txqueue — the index of the Tx queue that timed out 😭 literally just the number telling you which queue went ghost on you.

💀 lowkey important: this is kernel API territory ((9) section), so don't go calling it from userspace, bestie. it lives in the kernel. 🙈

and that's the whole page, short and sweet like a good text back. 🍓 this came out of the Kernel API Manual, source sit(uated) at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... (the path gets a lil truncated in the footer, we love a cliffhanger ✨), dated October 2026, and the page name is ofc fm10k_tx_timeout(9). mwah, bye! 💜🧚
