ixgbe_tx_timeout(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ixgbe_tx_timeout(9) — straight out of the Kernel API Manual — the function whose whole entire job is Respond to a Tx Hang. yes. that's it. that's the vibe. your transmit queue got stuck, the kernel is Concerned™, and this little icon steps in 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbe_tx_timeout (struct net_device *netdev , unsigned int txqueue
);

no cap, that's the whole signature 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the whole entire network card's paperwork 🌸
• txqueue — the queue number that timed out 😭 like, this specific one ghosted us

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the source of truth itself:

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

and then… the friend group. the whole friend group. lowkey everyone is here 🔥

that's the whole page bestie, mwah 💋 the source/version line was ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it was dated October 2026 — iconic of it, honestly. 🎀✨💜
