ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd(9)

💅 ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd 🎀 this one is short, it's sweet, and it's lowkey the "GO" button for the whole PTP timer situation.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd — Execute all prepared timer commands 👑

like... all of them. at once. synchronously. no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd (struct ice_hw *hw );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to HW struct. literally just the hardware struct pointer, she's the main character here 💜

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she does is: write the SYNC_EXEC_CMD bit to the GLTSYN_CMD_SYNC register, and then flush the write immediately ⚡

that immediate flush is the whole vibe — it's what triggers the hardware to begin executing all of the source and PHY timer commands synchronously 🌈 like a little starting pistol for your timers, periodt.

no waiting around, no "I'll get to it later" energy. the write goes out, the hardware hears it, everybody moves in sync 💅

whew. okay. that's the whole squad 💀💖

fr fr though — if you only remember one thing: SYNC_EXEC_CMD → GLTSYN_CMD_SYNC, flush immediately, everything runs in sync. she's a simple girl with a big job 🧚

okay that's the page!! mwah 💋 this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and her full government name is ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd(9) 🎀 go forth and sync your timers bestie ⭐💜
