💅 ice_ptp_adjtime_nonatomic — do a non-atomic clock adjustment

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (ice_ptp_adjtime_nonatomic(9)), and bestie it does exactly what it says on the tin: a clock adjustment that is not atomic. no cap. it's giving "just nudge the clock, it'll be fine" energy 🕰️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_ptp_adjtime_nonatomic (struct ptp_clock_info *info , s64 delta
);

like yes that's the whole signature, she's a simple girlie 🎀 returns an int, takes two things, we love a low-maintenance icon

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • info — the driver's PTP info structure, aka the little ID card for the PTP clock so this function knows which clock it's messing with 🪪
  • delta — offset in nanoseconds to adjust the time by, so how far we're shifting the clock, in ns, fr fr ⏱️

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives right here, bestie:

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

and now the whole friend group, everyone's invited to the group chat 😭 (all of these are section 9 pages):

💜 the pin / interrupt girlies

🧚 clock register & timestamp extending

⭐ tx tracker crew (there's a LOT of them, they're thorough)

🌈 cached phctime & writing registers

🔥 extts / perout squad

🍓 clock get/set/adj trio

💀 pin config crew

👑 the funcs setters

🙈 request ts & irq

🌸 reset & rebuild girlies

🧚 init & release (the whole lifecycle, we stan)

bestie note: "non-atomic" is literally in the name, so don't come for her when she isn't atomic. that's the whole point of the girl 💅

and that's the page! 🫶 this one's from the kernel source living at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 — mwah, go read the other 80 pages, ily, bye 👑💖
