💖 ixgbe_hpbthresh(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_hpbthresh page from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, yes you should absolutely say it out loud with your chest. This whole thing is a single function, one little glow-up of a helper, and it's genuinely not that deep. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_hpbthresh — literally just calculates the high water mark for flow control. that's the whole job. that's the whole function. high water mark, flow control, done 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ixgbe_hpbthresh (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter , int pb );

look at her. returns an int, takes two args, knows exactly what she's about. main character energy fr fr 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adapter — the board private structure you're calculating for. it's giving "the whole personality of the board in one struct," and yes you have to hand it over 🧚
  • pb — the packet buffer to calculate. that's it, that's the arg, no cap 🌈

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

and the source, the actual home address of all this:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c 💜

ok but genuinely, if you're poking around in ixgbe_main.c, hi, drink some water, take a stretch break, the driver will still be there 🍓
