ixgbe_request_irq(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ixgbe_request_irq — from the ixgbe_request_irq(9) page in the Kernel API Manual ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the group chat ✨ this one's a lil cutie from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally called ixgbe_request_irq(9) and it's all about getting your interrupts, like, actually initialized. No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_request_irq — initialize interrupts 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_request_irq (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • adapter — the board private structure, iykyk. It's the whole vibe of your NIC's little private world ✨

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the tea ☕ — this function attempts to configure interrupts using the best available capabilities of the hardware and kernel. That's it, that's the whole flex.

The way it's giving "I'll work with whatever you've got" — it looks at what the hardware can do, looks at what the kernel can do, and then goes with the best available combo. Slay. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Okay prepare yourself, this list is iconic and, like, very long — but every single one matters, so we're listing them all, periodt 💅

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

Like, genuinely, that's the whole list. Don't skip any, bestie — every one of those is someone's special little function and they all deserve their moment 🫶

And that's a wrap on this one! Sign-off time 🎀 this beauty lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 in the footer. Bye bestie, go configure those interrupts, you've got this 💜💖✨
