📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ixgbe_should_retry_aci_send_cmd_execute(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for ixgbe_should_retry_aci_send_cmd_execute, and yes the name is a whole mouthful, we're aware, we're choosing to slay anyway ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_should_retry_aci_send_cmd_execute — literally just decides whether an ACI command should be resent 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool ixgbe_should_retry_aci_send_cmd_execute (u16 opcode );

she takes one u16 and hands you back a bool, no cap 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • opcode — the ACI opcode. that's it, that's the whole argument. iconic behavior honestly 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what she does is: check if the ACI command should be sent again, based on the opcode you handed her. like a vibe check for commands 🔥

and when does that even happen? it may happen when the CSR is busy during link state changes — yes bestie, the CSR is busy, she's going through something, and sometimes you just gotta ask again later 😭

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • true — if the sending command routine should be repeated 🔁
  • otherwise false — no rerun for you, we move on 🌈

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the kernel file for all this lives at:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_e610.c

and now for the part where I hold up the entire friend group, because the see-also list here is long and every single one of them made the cut 💖:

like… ninety-something functions. she's giving main character energy and a whole contact list 😭💅

ok that's the whole page bestie, go forth and retry those commands responsibly 🫶✨

mwah 💋 this page came from the source <code>./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i...</code> and it's dated October 2026 — same manual name as the top (Kernel API Manual), same page name as the top (<code>ixgbe_shoul..._cmd_execute(9)</code>), because we keep it consistent in this house 🎀
