octep_tx_timeout(9)

💅 NAME

octep_tx_timeout — bestie, this one handles the Tx Queue timeout. That's it, that's the whole job. 💖

Oh and hey, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — pull up a chair, we're talking kernel networking today. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

void octep_tx_timeout (struct net_device *netdev , unsigned int txqueue );

That's the whole signature, no cap. Two args, returns nothing (void, so like… it gives you vibes only), and it's literally just:

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• netdev — a pointer to the kernel network device. Your main character struct tbh. 🌈
• txqueue — the number of the Tx queue that timed out. Like, the specific queue that decided to ghost you. 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Okay so real talk: what this does is schedule a work to handle the Tx queue timeout. That's it. That's the entire personality. 💅

It doesn't panic, it doesn't spiral — it just quietly sets up work to deal with the timeout later. Lowkey iconic behaviour, honestly. Deferred work: the coping mechanism of the kernel. 🫶

This page is literally preserved in ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeon_ep/octep_main.c — go say hi to the source if you want the full tea. 🍓
