fm10k_update_hw_stats_pf(9)

💅 fm10k_update_hw_stats_pf — a.k.a. the fm10k_update_hw_stats_pf(9) era

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat 🫶 this one is literally about the fm10k_update_hw_stats_pf function — say that three times fast, i dare you — and it lives in the kernel docs, km. no cap, it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one thing. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_update_hw_stats_pf — updates hardware related statistics of PF 💖

like, that's the whole assignment. the function updates the hardware-related stats for the PF. obsessed with the efficiency tbh.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fm10k_update_hw_stats_pf (struct fm10k_hw *hw , struct
fm10k_hw_stats *stats );

it returns void, so no return value to stress about — it just does the thing and dips 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. this is your hardware bestie, the struct fm10k_hw * you're handing over.
• stats — pointer to the stats structure to update. this is the struct fm10k_hw_stats * that's getting its glow-up. it's the one being updated, periodt.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it actually do? the manual says it plain: this function collects and aggregates global and per queue hardware statistics. 🌈

that's it. global stats? collected. per queue stats? also collected. both aggregated. the way it just gathers everything up and aggregates it — main character energy fr fr. no extra caveats, no drama, no warnings. just vibes and statistics. ✨

ngl if you're here reading kernel source docs at this hour, you're lowkey iconic. drink some water, bestie 🍓

and that's the whole page!! omg 🧚 before i go — this lil slice of documentation came from the source/version tag ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f..., dated October 2026, and it's all about the manual page fm10k_update_hw_stats_pf(9). slay, goodbye, go aggregate some statistics 💜🔥
