ixgbe_set_p...tion_timeout(9)

💖 NAME 💖

ixgbe_set_pcie_completion_timeout — bestie, it sets the pci-e completion timeout ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ixgbe_set_pcie_completion_timeout (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 (that's the hardware situation, she's holding it all together)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so real talk about the 82598 defaults 🌸 — they should be sitting in the range of 50us to 50ms. that's the vibe we want.

but plot twist 😭 the hardware default for these parts is 500us to 1ms, which is, um, less than the 10ms recommended by the pci-e spec. not her being under-spec 💀

to address this we need to increase the value — and it's giving two paths, bestie:

• 10ms to 250ms for capability version 1 config 👑
• 16ms to 55ms for version 2 🧚

pick the one that matches your capability version, no cap. iykyk 💅
