💅 igc_watchdog(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is igc_watchdog(9). yes it's a whole manual page for one little timer call-back and honestly? iconic of it. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

igc_watchdog — Timer Call-back 💀

that's it. that's the whole vibe. a timer call-back. main character energy in its purest form.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void igc_watchdog (struct timer_list *t );

no cap, that's the whole signature. copy it exactly, spacing and all — do not "fix" it, do not touch it, leave it alone 😭 (yes there's a space before that closing paren, and yes it's staying, periodt)

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • t — the timer for the watchdog ⏲️ she's a struct timer_list *, she's the whole reason we're here, she's the timer, bestie.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the source file, literally where the magic lives:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc/igc_main.c

and then… bestie. brace yourself. the friend group is huge. every single one of these is linked, all 86 of them, in the exact order the page gives them 💖

look at that list. that's a squad 🧚 and every single one ends in (9) because they're all living their best kernel-section life. iykyk 💜

heads up bestie: these are references, so if you're clicking through, keep the (9) on there — the section number is part of the name, no cap.

okay that's the whole page, you ate it up honestly 👑

and a lil sign-off for the credits stans: this one lives over in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc, dated October 2026 🌈 bye bestie, go read the source, mwah 💅💖
