✨ NAME ✨

octep_ioq_intr_handler — the handler for all Tx/Rx queue interrupts. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

irqreturn_t octep_ioq_intr_handler (int irq , void *data );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap. returns an irqreturn_t, takes two args. iconic behavior honestly.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • irq — the interrupt number. literally just which interrupt we're talking about, iykyk.
  • data — the interrupt data, and it's holding the good stuff: pointers to the Tx/Rx queue private data and the corresponding NAPI context. two-for-one situation fr fr. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is the common handler for all non-queue (generic) interrupts.

and yes bestie, i clocked it — the NAME says Tx/Rx queue interrupts and this description line says non-queue (generic) interrupts 😭 that's exactly what the page says, i'm not fixing it, i'm just reporting it. take it up with the source, not me 💀
