💅 octep_vfore_intr_handler(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one very specific little interrupt handler bestie 🫶. it's a (9) page so it's kernel-internal lore, not your everyday user command. buckle up, it's short but iconic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

octep_vfore_intr_handler — the common handler for vf output ring error interrupts 💖

like, that's literally her job. that's the whole thing. she handles the vf output ring error interrupts, and she does it commonly, meaning she's the shared handler for them, periodt 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

irqreturn_t octep_vfore_intr_handler (int irq , void *data );

she takes two things and returns an irqreturn_t, no cap. the way that signature is just sitting there being all correct 😭✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• irq — the interrupt number 💫 like, which interrupt are we even talking about? this one. this number.
• data — interrupt data 🍓 the little payload that comes along for the ride.

both of them are required, both of them are doing their thing, and yes we love that for them 🌈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so real talk: this is the common handler for vf output ring error interrupts. that's it. that's the vibe. she shows up when a vf output ring has an error interrupt situation and she handles it, shared-handler style — one function, all the vf output ring error interrupts, no duplicates, no drama 💅

it's giving "small but essential" honestly. main character energy in like eight words 🔥

ngl this one has no warnings, no exit statuses, no environment variables, no bugs section — she's a clean little page and we respect that 🙈💖

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 so here's the cute sign-off: this one comes from the source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell... and it's dated October 2026 ⭐ go forth and handle those interrupts, mwah 💋🌸
