igc_tx_timeout(9)

🎀 igc_tx_timeout(9) 🎀

okay so before we even start: this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — section 9, kernel-space vibes only 💅 this is not a thing you type into your shell, it's a thing that exists inside the driver code. and it's literally just here to respond to a Tx Hang. that's the whole personality. iconic minimalism honestly 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

igc_tx_timeout — respond to a Tx Hang</p> 🔥

like, the transmit side got stuck and somebody has to deal with it, and that somebody is this function. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void igc_tx_timeout (struct net_device *netdev , unsigned int txqueue );

returns void btw — it gives nothing back, it just does 💅 (copy it exactly like that if you're writing it out, spacing and all, i don't make the rules)

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• netdev — the network interface device structure 🫶 the whole nic vibe, the big one
• txqueue — the queue number that timed out 😭 so we know which queue ghosted us

bestie reminder: section 9 means kernel API — if you're reaching for this from userspace you're in the wrong room, respectfully 🙈
