ixgbevf_service_timer(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 ixgbevf_service_timer(9) — the ixgbevf_service_timer page, bestie edition 🌸

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's a tiny one — like, one-function tiny — but we're gonna give it the full main character treatment anyway ✨

💅 NAME

ixgbevf_service_timer — the Timer Call-back. that's it, that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS

void ixgbevf_service_timer (struct timer_list *t );

so it returns void (nothing back, no drama) and it takes exactly one thing. periodt 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS

  • t — pointer to a timer_list struct. that's the whole argument list, bestie. one pointer, one job, no notes 💅
ngl there's literally nothing else in here — no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses. this page is a snack-sized one and we respect that 🌈

👑 SEE ALSO

okay this is where it goes OFF, because the cross-reference list is long — like, "she brought her whole friend group" energy. every single one of these, in order, no skipping 🙈

and the kernel file to go peep the actual source at:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c

like I said. whole friend group. ate 💀🔥

💖 friendly reminder that this page has no OPTIONS, no RETURN VALUE, no ERRORS section — the original doesn't have them either, so I'm not gonna make stuff up. we stay factual in this house, no cap 🧚

okay that's the whole page bestie, go forth and be obsessed with timer callbacks 💜

signing off from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... — October 2026 edition, ixgbevf_service_timer(9) forever and always 🌟🦋💅
