ixgbevf_irq_disable(9)

💅 ixgbevf_irq_disable(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: it's a whole manual page about one little function, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual under the name ixgbevf_irq_disable(9). we're doing it. we're reading the docs. growth. 🌱

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_irq_disable — literally just "Mask off interrupt generation on the NIC." that's the whole vibe. the NIC gets told to stop interrupting. quiet hours. do not disturb. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbevf_irq_disable (struct ixgbevf_adapter *adapter );

no return value, she returns void, she simply does the thing and leaves. main character energy tbh. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the board private structure 🫶 that's the one thing you hand her. one (1) argument. we love a low-maintenance icon.

and that's the page, bestie — short, sweet, and thoroughly documented. 🧚

ngl this is a tiny one, but the little functions are the ones holding the whole driver together, no cap. 💅

sign-off time 🎀 — this gem is filed under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and yes it's still out here being ixgbevf_irq_disable(9) in the Kernel API Manual. slay. 🦋✨
