💅 ice_fetch_u64_tx_stats(9) — like, the Tx stats rescue mission

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_fetch_u64_tx_stats(9) — yes that's a mouthful, but she's iconic and she's here to grab your transmit-ring numbers for you 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ice_fetch_u64_tx_stats — grab the Tx stats off a ring, no cap 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ice_fetch_u64_tx_stats (struct ice_tx_ring *ring , struct
ice_vsi_tx_stats *copy );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ring — the Tx ring you're pulling stats from. she's the source of truth, the main character 💅
  • copy — temporary storage where the ring statistics land. think of her as the cute little tote bag you're carrying the stats home in 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So the way this works: you fetch the u64 stats from the ring using u64_stats_fetch. That's the whole vibe.

Why do it like that? Because it means each stat value comes out self-consistent — like, each individual number is internally coherent and won't be a half-written mess. Obsessed ✨

⚠️ but lowkey important: self-consistent per value does not mean consistent w.r.t other stats. so each stat makes sense on its own, but the set of them isn't guaranteed to line up as a coherent snapshot. don't come for her, that's just how it is 😭
