💅 ixgbe_ipsec_stop_engine(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ (yes that's the manual name, she's fancy like that). This page is about one little function in the ixgbe Intel driver fam, and honestly it's short and sweet — like a group chat message that's just "k". Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_ipsec_stop_engine —

so like… that's it. That's the whole name section. The description after the dash is literally empty, no cap 😭 the manpage said "she doesn't need a tagline, she's iconic on her own." So we move 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbe_ipsec_stop_engine (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

it returns void (nothing back, no receipts, she just does the thing) and it takes exactly one pointer. periodt 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the board private structure 💖 that's the struct pointer you're handing over; she needs it to know which board she's working with. That's the whole arg list, one (1) bestie.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file where this whole saga lives:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c

and literally the entire ixgbe ipsec extended universe, lowkey a whole roster 👑:

ngl, ixgbe_ipsec_stop_engine is the one who stops the engine, and ixgbe_ipsec_start_engine is the one who starts it — they're giving sibling energy, main character and her equally main character sister 🌈

okay that's the page, short queen behavior 💜. one last lil sign-off: this beauty is dated October 2026 📅 and her source is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes the original literally trails off with a ... , she's mysterious like that 🙈), all under the Kernel API Manual banner. mwah, slay, go read the source file for the real lore ⭐💖
