💅 i40e_get_ne...ts_struct_tx — Kernel API Manual

Okay so bestie, first things first: yes, the title is literally chopped in half. It's giving ✨dramatic✨, but that's just the man page renderer refusing to spell out i40e_get_netdev_stats_struct_tx at the top — the real, un-chopped name is down there in NAME, don't worry. This is a page out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's a tiny little function with a huge extended family (we'll get to the squad in SEE ALSO, grab a snack 🍓).

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_get_netdev_stats_struct_tx — populate stats from a Tx ring

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_get_netdev_stats_struct_tx (struct i40e_ring *ring, struct rtnl_link_stats64 *stats);

It returns void, so like… don't sit there waiting for a return value, there isn't one, she's done after the side effects 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ring — the Tx ring you're pulling statistics out of. This is the main character, she's the source.
  • stats — the statistics entry that gets updated. She's the canvas, she gets written into.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Not me about to list basically the entire i40e driver 😭. Here's the kernel file this lives in, then literally every sibling function the page points you at — in order, no gatekeeping:

  • Kernel file: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c

the setup + stats girlies 💖

filter squad, no cap 🎯

vlan era 🎀

rings + interrupts, the whole vibe check 🔥

DCB / traffic class besties 🌈

channels, but make it fashion 🦋

macvlan + tc flower, flower crown energy 🌸

reset + subtask iconics 👑

alloc / msix / rss — the infrastructure baddies 💜

veb / switch / probe — the final boss arc ⭐

Okay and that's the whole guest list. If you clicked through all of those you're legally a kernel girlie now, iykyk 🫶

And that's a wrap on the page 💖 it lives in the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and its header footer spells it i40e_get_ne...ts_struct_tx(9) — yes, still chopped, no, she is not okay about it. Bye bestie, slay your stats 🎀✨
