ixgbe_tx_maxrate(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ixgbe_tx_maxrate(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this page is all about ixgbe_tx_maxrate, which is literally a callback to set the maximum per-queue bitrate. that's the whole name vibe, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the signature is giving exactly this, so keep it cute and exact:

int ixgbe_tx_maxrate (struct net_device *netdev , int queue_index , u32
maxrate );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

three argument besties, and yes every single one matters:

• netdev — network interface device structure. that's the network interface device structure, periodt.
• queue_index — Tx queue to set. literally the Tx queue you're setting, bestie 💅
• maxrate — desired maximum transmit bitrate. the desired max transmit bitrate, exactly 🎀
