📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_cache_phy_user_req(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ice_cache_phy_user_req(9) — yes that's the whole title, yes it's a mouthful, drink some water before you try to say it out loud 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_cache_phy_user_req -

and that's it. that's the whole description. the dash is just... there. hanging out. no summary, no little tagline, nothing. honestly iconic of her — she said "my name is enough" and honestly? she ate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_cache_phy_user_req (struct ice_port_info *pi , struct
       ice_phy_cache_mode_data cache_data , enum ice_phy_cache_mode cache_mode
       );

look at that signature. void return, so she doesn't give anything back — she just does the thing, periodt 💜

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pi — the port information structure. your port's whole little info packet, bestie 🦋
  • cache_data — the PHY logging data. this is the actual data payload you're stashing away.
  • cache_mode — the PHY logging mode. tells it how we're logging, iykyk.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does she actually do? she logs the user request on (FC, FEC, SPEED) for later use. that's the whole vibe — you hand her your FC/FEC/SPEED request, she notes it down so it's there when someone comes looking for it later. a little scribe. a little note-taker. a little ✨ archivist ✨ of PHY user requests.

no cap, that's the entire description. short queen energy 🔥
