iavf_get_ringparam(9)

💖 NAME 💖

iavf_get_ringparam(9) — Get ring parameters. Yes bestie, we’re in the Kernel API Manual now, and this is the page for the function that does exactly what it says on the label. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       void iavf_get_ringparam (struct net_device *netdev , struct
       ethtool_ringparam *ring , struct kernel_ethtool_ringparam *kernel_ring ,
       struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network interface device structure. That’s the interface we’re talking about. 🫶
• ring — the ethtool ringparam structure — the one that gets filled. 💅
• kernel_ring — the ethtool extenal ringparam structure. Yes, “extenal” is the spelling here, bestie — no autocorrect energy. 💀
• extack — the netlink extended ACK report struct. Very official. 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the actual job: it fills ring with the current ring parameters. TX and RX rings are reported separately, but the number of rings is not reported. That’s the whole thing — separate TX/RX tea, but no ring count on the menu. 😭
