sis900_tx_timeout β€” the sis900 transmit timeout routine, and yes she's exactly what it says on the tin πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sis900_tx_timeout (struct net_device *net_dev , unsigned int
       txqueue );

that's it, that's the whole signature, no cap 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • net_dev β€” the net device to transmit, like, the actual device we're trying to push packets through πŸ‘‘
  • txqueue β€” index of the hanging queue. the queue that's just… sitting there. hanging. 😭
