ice_lag_event_handler(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_lag_event_handler — a Kernel API manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is from the Kernel API Manual section 9 (that's the kernel-internals girlies 🎀) and it's all about the ice driver's LAG event handler. stay with me, it's actually so good.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_lag_event_handler — literally the function that handles LAG events coming in from netdev 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_lag_event_handler (struct notifier_block *notif_blk , unsigned
       long event , void *ptr );

that's the whole signature, no cap. it's giving "notifier block goes in, event comes out" 💅

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

  • notif_blk — the notifier block that this netdev registered. like, its little ID badge at the notifier club 🫶
  • event — the event type. the vibe check, if you will ✨
  • ptr — opaque data containing the notifier event. opaque means don't look at it too hard, just pass it along 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this next part is a lot of cross-references and I'm not skipping a single one, periodt. the kernel file itself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_lag.c

and now the full friend group 💜:

like I said. every single one. she's thorough and we respect her for it 🧚

ngl the (9) on literally everything just means "section 9, kernel internals" — you're in the deep end now bestie, swim 💅

and that's the page!! sign-off time 🌈: this one's filed under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and the manual is ice_lag_event_handler(9) — go be iconic with it 🎀✨
