💅 ixgbe_ptp_check_pps_event — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ixgbe_ptp_check_pps_event. yes the whole manual name is literally just "Kernel API Manual", we love a lowkey title. this one's a little function with a big job and honestly? she ate.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_ptp_check_pps_event —

no fr, that's it. the NAME section gives you the function name, a dash, and then nothing. a whole dash and zero words after it. it's giving mysterious. it's giving "i'll let the DESCRIPTION speak for me." iconic behaviour, keep scrolling. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbe_ptp_check_pps_event (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

note the void up front — she returns nothing, she's above the concept of a return value, she simply does. and yes, there really is a space before that closing paren in *adapter ). copy it exactly, don't be cute and "fix" it. 🙈

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adapter — the private adapter structure 💖 that's the whole description. it's the private one, the personal one, the one only this driver gets to see. main character energy only.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the lore: this function gets called by the interrupt routine when it's doing its rounds checking for interrupts. you know how the interrupt routine is out here doing a vibe check on everything that pinged? yeah — ixgbe_ptp_check_pps_event is the bestie it taps on the shoulder when there's a pps event in the mix.

and what does she do with it? she checks it. she handles it. that's the assignment, that's the whole assignment. check and handle, check and handle. no cap.

lowkey important: she's a helper, not the boss. the interrupt routine is the one calling the shots — she only shows up when it's out there checking for interrupts. 🫶
