idpf_ptp_release(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 idpf_ptp_release(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so this is idpf_ptp_release, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the cleanup girlie of the idpf PTP world. Let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_ptp_release — Clear PTP hardware clock support 🕐💔

That's it. That's the whole gig. It tears down the PTP hardware clock support. No cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void idpf_ptp_release (struct idpf_adapter *adapter );

Not me just vibing with a void return — she gives nothing back, she simply does the thing and leaves 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter — driver specific private structure 👑 this is the idpf adapter's very own private little struct, and yeah, she needs it to know which adapter's PTP clock support we're clearing out.

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

So, like, the whole PTP friend group 🫂 — and yes, the kernel file itself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_ptp.c 📁

and then, in the order they're listed:

like, that's the entire clock squad 💀 every single one of them, no gatekeeping.

real talk though — if you're reading this page, you probably also want idpf_ptp_create_clock(9) and idpf_ptp_init(9), because she's the release counterpart to that whole setup arc. main character energy, but make it teardown 🔥

🌈 sign-off 🌈

this little love letter lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, it's dated October 2026, and it's filed under idpf_ptp_release(9) — periodt, that's the whole page, hope it ate 💖✨🧚
