stmmac_try_to_start_sw_lpi(9)

💅 stmmac_try_to_start_sw_lpi(9) 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for stmmac_try_to_start_sw_lpi(9) — yes bestie, we're in the kernel networking cinematic universe and this one is lowkey specific. The vibe? one argument, a void signature, and a very EEE-coded mission. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

• stmmac_try_to_start_sw_lpi — check and enter in LPI mode.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature is literally this, no cap:

void stmmac_try_to_start_sw_lpi (struct stmmac_priv *priv );

it's void, it takes priv, and that's the tea. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• priv — driver private structure. that's the one and only argument, and yes it is the driver private structure, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this function is here to verify and enter in LPI mode in case of EEE. that's the whole assignment — check the situation and slide into LPI mode when EEE is the moment. ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay the lore is deep and the cross-reference list is giving main-character energy. this function lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c, and here is every adjacent icon, no skips, no cap:
