💖 mdio45_ethto...gs_get_npage(9) 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for mdio45_ethto...gs_get_npage(9) — the full function name is mdio45_ethtool_ksettings_get_npage, and she is here to get settings for ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS. Slay. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

mdio45_ethtool_ksettings_get_npage — get settings for ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mdio45_ethtool_ksettings_get_npage (const struct mdio_if_info *mdio
, struct ethtool_link_ksettings *cmd , u32 npage_adv , u32 npage_lpa );

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • mdio — MDIO interface. That’s the vibe. 🦋
  • cmd — Ethtool request structure. Iconic little request container. 💖
  • npage_adv — Modes currently advertised on next pages. ✨
  • npage_lpa — Modes advertised by link partner on next pages. 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

The cmd parameter is expected to have been cleared before calling mdio45_ethtool_ksettings_get_npage.

⚠️ Bestie, this is a real caveat: clear cmd first, okay? Do not skip the pre-clear. 💀

Since the CSRs for auto-negotiation using next pages are not fully standardised, this function does not attempt to decode them. The caller must pass them in. No cap — it is literally not decoding those next-page CSRs for you. 😭

That’s the whole vibe check, bestie. This page comes from source/version ./drivers/net, dated October 2026, and it’s the mdio45_ethto...gs_get_npage(9) manual page. Periodt. 💅✨
