ixgbe_dcb_c..._stats_82598(9)

💅 ixgbe_dcb_config_tc_stats_82598 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — literally the deep lore of Intel NIC driver internals. this one's about a little function called ixgbe_dcb_config_tc_stats_82598, and honestly? she's giving quiet-but-essential. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_dcb_config_tc_stats_82598 — configure traffic class statistics. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_dcb_config_tc_stats_82598 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

like, it takes one thing and returns an int, no big dramatic monologue. iconic minimalism. 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. yes bestie, THAT hardware structure — the main-character struct of the whole driver. she's the plug 🔌

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so what does she actually do, you ask? she configures the queue statistics registers. simple!

and here's the important part, no cap: all the queues belonging to the same traffic class share a single set of queue statistics counters. so the counters aren't one-per-queue — they're one set per traffic class, and every queue in that class is pooling into the same little stats bucket. 🪣✨ collect the data together, besties.

ngl, once you know that, the rest of DCB makes way more sense. iykyk. 🧚

🌈 little sign-off from your fav: this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — and yes, the title got truncated to ixgbe_dcb_c..._stats_82598(9) in the source. not me being mysterious, that's just how it's printed. 😭💀

slay, now go configure those stats. 🍓💜
