📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 pch_gbe_get_ringparam — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to pch_gbe_get_ringparam(9) 💅 this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities." let me walk you through it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

pch_gbe_get_ringparam — report ring sizes 📊✨ that's it, that's the whole job. it reports ring sizes. iconic behavior, no notes.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void pch_gbe_get_ringparam (struct net_device *netdev , struct
       ethtool_ringparam *ring , struct kernel_ethtool_ringparam *kernel_ring ,
       struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

so it returns void (meaning: it gives you nothing back, it just does the thing 😌) and it takes four arguments. four! we love a function that knows what it wants. 💜

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • netdev — the network interface device structure 🖧 like, the whole entire network device, the main character of this story.
  • ring — the ring param structure 💍 yes bestie, a ring param structure, we're talking ring sizes here.
  • kernel_ring — the ring external param structure 🔍 the kernel-side version of the ring deets.
  • extack — netlink handle 📡 the little handle for netlink stuff, iykyk.

note that pch_gbe_set_ringparam(9) is the setter to this getter, so they're literally a matched set 🎀💅 go read that one too, bestie, it's the whole vibe check.

and that's the page!! short and slay 🌈 before you go, a cute little sign-off from the footer, because the fine print deserves love too: this one's sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem..., it's dated October 2026, and it's the pch_gbe_get_ringparam(9) page out of the Kernel API Manual 👑 mwah, go report some ring sizes, ily, bye 🍓🧚
