💅 ixgbe_watchdog_flush_tx — Kernel API Manual (9)

Okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_watchdog_flush_tx(9) page — it's a function straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and yes, this whole thing is dedicated to one beautifully specific job: flushing the queues when the link goes down. That's it. That's the function. Iconic, honestly. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_watchdog_flush_tx — flush queues on link down 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbe_watchdog_flush_tx (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

Note the void up front, babes — this one doesn't hand anything back to you. It just does the thing. 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • adapter — pointer to the device adapter structure ✨

That's your one and only parameter, and yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like: a pointer to the adapter struct for the device you're working with. No sneaky extras. 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Alright, sit down and hydrate before this one, because the cross-reference list is long and I'm not skipping a single one — every single reference, in order, exactly as it lives in the book. 👑

Kernel file first:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c

And then the whole friend group:

Like I said. The whole crew. Every single one slayed its way onto this page and I refuse to leave a sibling behind. 🌈

Heads up bestie: that list is a lot of reading material, so don't come for me if you fall down a rabbit hole — each one is its own (9) page, iykyk. 🧚

That's the whole page, no cap — every argument, the exact synopsis, and literally every cross-reference, all accounted for. 💜

✨ Cute little sign-off ✨ — this one came from the source/version line ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yeah, it's truncated in the book, not my fault, I'm quoting it exactly 😭) and it's dated October 2026. Thanks for reading, go flush those queues, and remember: link down means flush time. Periodt. 💅🎀🦋
