gether_set_qmult(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… gether_set_qmult β€” kernel API manual, section 9, bestie πŸ’…

Ok so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9), and it's short but it's mighty. Let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

gether_set_qmult β€” bestie. it literally initializes an ethernet-over-usb link with a multiplier. that's the whole vibe. πŸ¦‹


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void gether_set_qmult (struct net_device *net , unsigned qmult );
not me giving you the exact signature character-for-character because we do NOT play about prototypes πŸ’€

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • net β€” this is the device that represents this link. like, the actual net_device, the main character here πŸ‘‘
  • qmult β€” the queue multiplier. it's an unsigned, it's a multiplier, it multiplies queues. iykyk πŸ’œ

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

So what this does: it sets the queue length multiplier of this ethernet-over-usb link. periodt. 🫢

And the golden rule of it β€” for higher speeds use longer queues. that's it, that's the tea. faster link = longer queue, no cap. ✨

πŸ’– and if you're wondering where the setter's other half is β€” yeah, gether_get_qmult(9) is right there in the list. matched set, iconic behavior. πŸ’…
