ice_ptp_release_tx_tracker(9)

💖 ice_ptp_release_tx_tracker ✨

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — it's a lil function page, but it's important, so let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_ptp_release_tx_tracker — the one that releases the memory we allocated for the Tx tracker 🧚

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void ice_ptp_release_tx_tracker (struct ice_pf *pf , struct ice_ptp_tx *tx );

like, it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, she gives you nothing back and that's her right 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pf — the board private structure, aka the big main-character struct for the whole board 👑
• tx — the Tx tracking structure that we're about to release, so it's her turn to be freed 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Free the memory associated with the Tx timestamp tracker. that's it. that's the whole vibe. allocated stuff? gone. no cap ✨

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the source lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp.c — and honestly the whole friend group is here, so let me introduce you 💖

like I said — the entire friend group 😭💀 go say hi to all of them, they're all iconic in their own way 🫶

ngl this one pairs so well with ice_ptp_alloc_tx_tracker(9) — she's the alloc, this is the free, they're literally a matched set, iykyk 🎀

mwah 💋 that's the page! this lil corner of the kernel lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, and this snapshot is dated October 2026 — go off, Intel ethernet driver, you ate 🌸✨💅
