ice_get_pauseparam(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is ice_get_pauseparam(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and its whole main-character job is literally Get Flow Control status ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the signature is giving exactly this, no cap:

void ice_get_pauseparam (struct net_device *netdev , struct
       ethtool_pauseparam *pause );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the interface bestie in question 💖
• pause — the ethernet pause (flow control) parameters, aka the pause vibe-check data 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the tea is: this gets the requested flow control status from PHY capability. If autoneg is true, then ethtool will send the ETHTOOL_GSET ioctl, and that ioctl is handled by ice_get_link_ksettings. Then ice_get_link_ksettings will report the negotiated Rx/Tx pause via lp_advertising 👑

like, that's the whole pipeline, and it ate fr fr 💅
