ice_aq_get_gpio(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_aq_get_gpio(9) 💅

okay so picture this: it's a Kernel API Manual page (that's the manual name bestie, we're in section 9) and today's main character is ice_aq_get_gpio. she's short, she's sweet, she talks to the firmware. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_aq_get_gpio — the little AQ call that goes and asks the firmware what a GPIO pin is up to rn 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_aq_get_gpio (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 gpio_ctrl_handle , u8
pin_idx , bool *value , struct ice_sq_cd *cd );

like, five arguments, no drama, we love a low-maintenance queen 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct. your whole hardware situation lives in here, she's the blueprint 💖
  • gpio_ctrl_handle — the GPIO controller node handle. yes it's a u16, yes it's the way we find the right controller, iykyk
  • pin_idx — IO Number of the GPIO that needs to be set. literally the index of which pin we're talking about 📍
  • value — IO value read. it's a bool *, so this is where the answer gets dropped off 🎁
  • cd — pointer to command details structure or NULL. optional bestie, pass NULL and vibe ✌️

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what she actually does: she sends the 0x06ED AQ command to get the value of a GPIO signal which is part of the topology.

that's it. that's the whole job. one command, one value, no cap ✨ 0x06ED is a whole icon and she knows it 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

bestie. buckle up. this list is long long. it's giving "everyone in the ice driver knows each other". but every single one is here, fr fr no skipping 👑💅

and yes, ice_aq_set_gpio(9) is in there too — she's the sibling, the setter to our getter, we stan a duo 💜

okay that's the whole page bestie, every flag, every path, every single SEE ALSO, nothing dropped, periodt ✨

this has been ice_aq_get_gpio(9) from the ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice corner of the kernel, dated October 2026 — go read a GPIO value for me, ily 💖🎀🦋
