ice_dpll_ini..._direct_pins(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_dpll_ini..._direct_pins(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes the header literally says ice_dpll_ini..._direct_pins(9) twice, it's giving abbreviation energy, but we move. this page is about one (1) little function and honestly it's a vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_dpll_init_info_direct_pins — it initializes direct pins info 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_dpll_init_info_direct_pins (struct ice_pf *pf , enum
ice_dpll_pin_type pin_type );

like, look at her. main character signature. no notes. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — the board private structure 💖 ya girl's whole personality lives in here
  • pin_type — the type of pins being initialized, no cap, you gotta tell it which pins

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

so what it actually does: it inits the information for directly connected pins, and then caches all of that in pf's pins structures. that's it. that's the whole gig. lowkey iconic that something so small gets its own manpage but periodt, we love documentation in this house 🫶

🌈 RETURN 🌈

  • 0 — success 🎉 slay, it worked
  • negative — the init failure reason 😭 something went sideways and the return value is telling you why

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

bestie. sit down. this list is long and I need you to respect it. first, the kernel file itself:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_dpll.c

and then the entire extended friend group 💀:

like I said. every single one of them. iykyk 💀💖

ok and that's the whole page bestie, go read the source, it's literally all in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice 🧚

and that's a wrap, mwah 💋 — this lil number comes to you straight from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and it's called ice_dpll_ini..._direct_pins(9) in case the truncation jumped out at you again 😭🫶
