igb_ptp_tx_hang(9)

💅 igb_ptp_tx_hang — bestie edition

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function called igb_ptp_tx_hang. she's niche, she's iconic, and she has exactly one job. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

igb_ptp_tx_hang — detect error case where Tx timestamp never finishes

like, she literally exists to catch a vibe check that failed. if a Tx timestamp just... never finishes?? she's the one who notices. 💀 no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void igb_ptp_tx_hang (struct igb_adapter *adapter );

returns nothing (void, she gives nothing and takes nothing back), takes one pointer, and that's the whole personality. short and sweet, periodt. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — private network adapter structure. that's her input, that's her whole world. it's the private network adapter struct and you hand it over. no extra lore, no hidden parameters, that's it bestie 🫶

lowkey reminder: the one thing this page is about is detecting the error case where the Tx timestamp never finishes. that's the entire plot. don't lose the plot. 💖
