💅 fm10k_update_hw_base_48b — Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's about one tiny little function that keeps your 48-bit stats from going completely feral. sit down, grab a 🍓, we're learning this together.

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_update_hw_base_48b — the girlies who update the 48-bit statistic base value 🎀 like that's literally her whole job.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fm10k_update_hw_base_48b (struct fm10k_hw_stat *stat , u64 delta );

no cap, that's the whole signature. void in, void out, she returns nothing and she doesn't need to. main character energy honestly 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • stat — pointer to the hardware statistic structure. yes bestie, this is the actual struct getting touched. she's the destination 💖
  • delta — the value to be updated into the hardware statistic structure. this is the number doing the work, the moment, the ✨content✨

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so the way this works: the function receives a value, right, and then it determines if an update is required based on a delta calculation. like she's checking the vibe first, very responsible of her 🫶

and here's the important part — only the base value will be updated. that's it. that's the update. don't come for the other fields, they're not part of this conversation, periodt 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

she lives in this file, for reference:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_common.c

and she rolls with a whole squad, so lemme introduce everyone 💜:

💀 real talk: every single one of those is worth a read, iykyk. don't skip the 32b one just because 48b sounds cooler. they're a matched set fr fr.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 source situation for the credits: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... and it's dated October 2026, so like, future icon behaviour honestly ⭐ stay slaying, fm10k_update_hw_base_48b(9), we love you 🎀💖✨
