octep_update_pkt(9)

💅 octep_update_pkt(9) — the kernel API glow-up

okay so bestie, you're looking at octep_update_pkt(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and no cap it's a tiny little function that does a very specific thing. Sit with me 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

octep_update_pkt — updates the IQ/OQ IN/OUT_CNT registers. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic minimalism honestly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void octep_update_pkt (struct octep_iq *iq , struct octep_oq *oq );

like, it returns nothing (void), it takes two pointers, and then it goes and touches the counters. simple. clean. slay ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• iq — the Octeon Tx queue data structure 💖 this is the transmit side of the situation.
• oq — the Octeon Rx queue data structure 🦋 and this one's the receive side.

two structs, one function, zero drama (allegedly 😭).

lowkey reminder: this page is from ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell..., dated October 2026, and it's the manual for octep_update_pkt(9) — so if you were looking for something else, wrong page bestie, but glad you stopped by 🌈

hope that helped fr fr, go update those IN/OUT_CNT registers and have the day you deserve 🍓💜
