💅 igb_get_the...data_generic(9)

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today — yes, that's the manual name, don't @ me — and we're looking at igb_get_thermal_sensor_data_generic. say it three times fast, i dare you. it's giving long-name energy but honestly? iconic. she's a thermal sensor girlie and she KNOWS it 🥵🌡️

✨ NAME ✨

igb_get_thermal_sensor_data_generic — Gathers thermal sensor data 🎀

like literally that's the whole job. gather. sensor. data. thermal. slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 igb_get_thermal_sensor_data_generic (struct e1000_hw *hw );

one function, one pointer, one s32 return. no cap. keep the spacing exactly like that, she's particular 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. that's it. that's the whole argument list. she takes one (1) pointer to a hardware struct and she goes to WORK 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

updates the temperatures in mac.thermal_sensor_data.

that's the vibe. that's the assignment. she refreshes the temps so they're not stale — nobody likes stale temps, honestly embarrassing 🙈🔥

and now, the group chat. the whole entire squad. everyone's here. say hi:

that last one is her sibling btw — the thresholds girlie. go say hi to igb_init_thermal_sensor_thresh_generic(9) too, she gets lonely 🥺

anyway that's the whole page, you ate that, no notes 💜

and for the receipt-keepers: this little number lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, dated October 2026 — put it in the group chat, screenshot it, frame it, idc. mwah 💋✨🌈
