📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fm10k_update_hw_stats_vf(9)

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a short one but it matters. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_update_hw_stats_vf — literally updates the hardware-related statistics of the VF. that's it, that's the job 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fm10k_update_hw_stats_vf (struct fm10k_hw *hw , struct
       fm10k_hw_stats *stats );

like, it takes two pointers and returns nothing. void. no tea, no shade, no return value. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🫶
  • stats — pointer to the statistics structure ✨

both of them are pointers, both of them are iconique, and yes you need to pass both. no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it collects and aggregates the per-queue hardware statistics. that's the whole vibe. it goes around scooping up the stats for each queue and mushing them together into one aggregate situation. very main character energy for a stats function ngl 😭🔥

it's giving "quietly doing the important bookkeeping while everyone else gets the credit." we love her for that.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the kernel file where this lives — go read the source, iykwla:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_vf.c

and then the whole friend group, in order, no skips, periodt:

that's fourteen besties and every single one of them is linked above, exactly as listed, not a single one skipped 💜

ngl the source line at the bottom got cut off in the original at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... — so that's what you get here too, no guessing, no "fixing" it 🙈

anyway that's the page!! written from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... (as much as we could see of it 🎀). bye bestie, go aggregate those stats — you're gonna slay 🦋✨💖
