✨ ice_ptp_rx_hwts_to_skb(9) ✨

okay bestie so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is ice_ptp_rx_hwts_to_skb — literally putting the RX timestamp into the skb, no cap 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

ice_ptp_rx_hwts_to_skb — Put RX timestamp into skb

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ice_ptp_rx_hwts_to_skb (struct ice_rx_ring *rx_ring , const union
ice_32b_rx_flex_desc *rx_desc , struct sk_buff *skb );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• rx_ring — the ring we grab the VSI info from, that's its whole job 🫶
• rx_desc — the receive descriptor, hi queen 👑
• skb — the particular skb that gets to carry the timestamp, main character energy fr

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the timestamp is in ns (nanoseconds, babe), which means we must convert the result first before doing anything else with it. that's the vibe check of this whole function ngl ⭐
