💅 ice_get_ptp_src_clock_index(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — we're literally in the kernel docs rn and this page is about one tiny but iconic function 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ice_get_ptp_src_clock_index — figure out which source clock index is in use rn, no cap

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u8 ice_get_ptp_src_clock_index (struct ice_hw *hw );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct, that's it, that's the whole argument 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the whole vibe here: this function determines the source clock index that's currently in use. And how does it know? It goes off the device capabilities that were reported during initialization. That's the tea. ☕✨

Like, no guessing, no vibes-based detection — it's just reading what the device already told us back when it initialized. Main character energy fr. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the actual kernel file this lives in — go read it, it's giving source of truth:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp_hw.c

and then... bestie. the whole ice PTP friend group showed up. every single one of them. here they all are, in order, untouched, exactly as listed 💀💖

and that's the whole page bestie, ily, go read the source 🫶

k bye, this came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 — mwah 💋✨
