ice_setup_txtime_ctx(9)

💅 ice_setup_txtime_ctx(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the (9) section, we're in driver-deep territory bestie) and it's literally all about ONE job: setting up a struct ice_txtime_ctx instance. That's it. That's the whole arc. Short page, big main character energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_setup_txtime_ctx — sets up a struct ice_txtime_ctx instance. Like, it builds you one. That's the vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_setup_txtime_ctx (const struct ice_tstamp_ring *ring , struct
ice_txtime_ctx *txtime_ctx );

Two args, returns an int, no cap. Copy it exactly like that if you're pasting it somewhere, she's precise 💅

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• ring — the tstamp ring that's getting configured. This is the thing you're setting up from, iykyk 🌈
• txtime_ctx — a pointer to the Tx time queue context structure that's gonna get initialized. You're handing her an empty little struct and she fills it in, bestie 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns 0 on success 🎉 — and a negative value on error 😭 (so like, if you see a negative number, that's not a win, that's a vibe check that failed).

so yeah, that's the page 🧚 super short, super focused, and honestly? iconic. This little love letter comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and it's filed under ice_setup_txtime_ctx(9) — mwah, bye bestie 💋🌸
