πŸ’… ice_misc_intr_thread_fn(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” yes, that's the manual name, we're in the (9) section, this is the kernel internals part of the party πŸŽ‰ and today's main character is ice_misc_intr_thread_fn. it's a function. it does misc interrupt thread stuff. the vibes are immaculate, let's get into it ✨


✨ NAME ✨

ice_misc_intr_thread_fn β€” misc interrupt thread function 🧡⚑

that's it, that's the whole name section. short and iconic, we love a minimal queen πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

irqreturn_t ice_misc_intr_thread_fn (int irq , void *data );

look at her. returns an irqreturn_t (yes that's a real type, no cap), takes an int and a void *. classic threaded-irq silhouette ngl 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • irq β€” the interrupt number πŸ’« just, like, which interrupt we're talking about. that's the whole vibe.
  • data β€” pointer to a q_vector πŸŽ€ so this is the lil payload nobody declares a type for and everybody pretends is fine. it's giving void * main character energy.
bestie note: data is literally documented as "pointer to a q_vector" and nothing else. don't be out here casting it to something else and then acting surprised, okay? πŸ™ˆ

okay this is the part of the page where the manual just. keeps. going. it's a whole group chat and every single member is invited. no one gets left on read πŸ’œ

and also, before the whole cast list: the kernel file it lives in is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_main.c πŸ“ β€” that's where the source is at, go say hi.

like. that's the whole ice cinematic universe, and every single one of them is canon πŸ’– iykyk.


and that's the page, bestie!! 🫢 this lil beauty comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and is dated October 2026 β€” go forth, read your (9) pages, and slay βœ¨πŸ’…πŸŽ€
