stmmac_set_rx_mode(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to this page from the Kernel API Manual — and the stmmac_set_rx_mode(9) function's whole vibe is entry point for multicast addressing. That's it, that's the assignment. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is literally giving:

void stmmac_set_rx_mode (struct net_device *dev );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dev — pointer to the device structure. one argument, one main-character pointer, no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this function is a driver entry point which gets called by the kernel whenever multicast addresses must be enabled/disabled. Return value: void — it returns absolutely nothing, periodt. ✨

FIXME: 🚨 this may need RXC to be running, but it may be called with BH disabled, which means we can't call phylink_rx_clk_stop*().

okay the SEE ALSO section is literally the group chat, and nobody gets left on read. The kernel file is ./drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c, and here's every single reference, bestie:
