💅 ice_get_phy_...p_ready_e82x(9) — from the Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready_e82x, and yes the header truncates the name like that on purpose, it's giving "we ran out of line width" 😭. This is a Kernel API page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly such a little icon — one tiny function that peeks at a register and tells you which PHY timestamps are ready to go. Obsessed. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready_e82x — Read Tx memory status register

like, that's the whole job. read the register. slay. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready_e82x (struct ice_hw *hw , u8 quad , u64
*tstamp_ready );

it returns an int, no cap. 🦋

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. literally your whole hardware situation, bestie, it needs it.
  • quad — the timestamp quad to read from. yes, quad. pick your quad. 👑
  • tstamp_ready — contents of the Tx memory status register. this is where the goods land, so point it somewhere real. 🙈

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does it actually do. it reads the Q_REG_TX_MEMORY_STATUS register, the one that tells you which timestamps in the PHY are ready 👀.

and the vibe check on the bits: a set bit means the corresponding timestamp is valid and ready to be captured from the PHY timestamp block. so one bit = one timestamp that's valid and ready. that's it. that's the whole function. iconic behaviour, honestly. ✨

the friend group is huge, lowkey a whole group chat, so buckle up buttercup — every single one of these is linked, and this page is in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp_hw.c if you wanna read the source yourself 💅:

and that's the page!! 🫶 cute little sign-off time: this beauty lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, the version/date is October 2026, and yeah — the manual name on the tin is ice_get_phy_...p_ready_e82x(9), truncated and all. no notes. periodt. 💅🔥🌈 ⭐ 💀 🍓
