💅 stmmac_mmc_setup(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the stmmac_mmc_setup(9) page — yes that's the manual name, it's literally in the corner of every manpage, iykyk ✨

✨ NAME ✨

stmmac_mmc_setup — setup the Mac Management Counters (MMC) 🧚

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void stmmac_mmc_setup (struct stmmac_priv *priv );

that's the whole signature, no cap — returns void, so like, it gives you nothing back and that's iconic of it 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • priv — the driver private structure 🫶 like, the whole personality of the driver lives in there

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the vibe: this one masks the MMC irq. like, it shuts that interrupt up. and why? because — and this is the important part bestie — the counters are managed in SW. literally in software. so the hardware interrupt is just not the main character here, periodt 💀

no fr, that's the whole description — mask the MMC irq, counters live in software. don't go adding lore that isn't there 🙈
