ice_phy_cfg_intr_eth56g(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_phy_cfg_intr_eth56g(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about one tiny but mighty function, ice_phy_cfg_intr_eth56g. She configures the TX timestamp interrupt. That's her whole job. And she eats. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ice_phy_cfg_intr_eth56g — configure TX timestamp interrupt. that's it. that's the vibe. 🕐

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_phy_cfg_intr_eth56g (struct ice_hw *hw , u8 port , bool ena , u8
threshold );

like, four args, one int back. lowkey elegant ngl 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. your hardware bestie, the whole context, the main character of this operation 👑
  • port — the timestamp port. which port we're doing, u8 style 🎀
  • ena — enable or disable interrupt. a bool, so it's giving yes/no energy 🙈
  • threshold — interrupt threshold. a u8. and listen — see the description below, there's a rule about this one ⬇️

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The threshold cannot be 0 while the interrupt is enabled. like, fr fr, that's a hard no. 🚫

Otherwise? Configure TX timestamp interrupt for the specified port. that's the whole mission. slay. ✨

🌈 RETURN 🌈

  • 0 — success! we ate, we left no crumbs 🍓
  • other — PHY read/write failed 😭 something went sideways in the PHY and it's not our fault

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay bestie, buckle up, because this list is long and honestly iconic. the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp_hw.c, and then there's this whole extended friend group:

like… that's the whole group chat. no cap. 💀💖

okay and before you go — this lil beauty lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and she's dated October 2026. yes, the future. she's ahead of her time, periodt. 🧚✨
