ice_fetch_tx_ring_stats(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_fetch_tx_ring_stats — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual today, and the star of the show is ice_fetch_tx_ring_stats — say it with me, it's giving "one job, does it well" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_fetch_tx_ring_stats — fetch Tx ring packet and byte counters 🎀

Like, it reaches into a transmit ring and scoops out the counters. That's the whole vibe. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_fetch_tx_ring_stats (const struct ice_tx_ring *ring , u64 *pkts
, u64 *bytes );

Notice the void — it returns absolutely nothing because it's not about giving you answers, it's about filling in your pointers. Main character energy, honestly 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ring — the ring to update, passed as const struct ice_tx_ring *. It's the Tx ring we're snooping on 🧚
  • pkts — a u64 *, and it gets the number of processed packets 📦
  • bytes — also a u64 *, and it gets the number of processed bytes 🍓
⭐ bestie reminder: pkts and bytes are pointers, so this function writes through them. You hand it somewhere to put the numbers, it puts the numbers there. That's the entire deal fr fr.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so first up is the kernel file it lives near:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_lib.c

and then — no exaggeration — the entire friend group shows up. Every single one of these, exactly as written, because we do not skip people's names in this house 💖

💀 one hundred and six cross-refs and not a single one skipped. that's the level of commitment we're on. iykyk 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and deeply iconic ✨ this one's coming at you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and yes it's still ice_fetch_tx_ring_stats(9) at the end of the day 🎀 bye mwah 💜
