💖 i40e_ptp_extts0_work — a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about one (1) tiny little workqueue task function. it's giving "small but crucial" energy, and honestly? we love that for it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_ptp_extts0_work — literally just: the workqueue task function. that's her whole job title. iconic. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_ptp_extts0_work (struct work_struct *work );

like, that's the whole signature. void in, void out, one pointer in the middle. no notes. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • work — the workqueue task structure, bestie. that's the one and only thing you hand her. it's a struct work_struct *, so yeah, a pointer. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? she's the service for PTP external clock event. that's it. that's the whole description. she shows up, she handles the PTP external clock event, she leaves. main character energy but make it a workqueue. ✨

ngl the original is short and she's keeping it short — no hidden extras, no secret flags, no side quests. respect. 😌

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the friend group rolls in. every single one of these, no skips, no "you've probably heard of", all of them: 🎀

bestie pls note: i40_ptp_reset_timing_events(9) really is spelled with one e in there (i40_, not i40e_). that's not me being sloppy, that's the actual name. copy it exactly, i'm begging. 🙈

and that's the page!! super short, super sweet, one argument, one job. slay. 💫

this came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e — dated October 2026, so she's fresh, she's current, she's chilling in the kernel tree waiting for you to read her. go off, bestie. 🧚‍♀️💖
