STRUCT ICE_CROSSTSTAMP_CTX(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 struct ice_crosststamp_ctx(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct ice_crosststamp_ctx(9) — yes the whole page is literally named after the struct, it's giving main character energy and honestly? deserved.

This is the device cross timestamp context — the little bundle of info the driver carries around when it's doing that cross-timestamping thing between your system clocks and the hardware. Say it with me: context. struct. slay. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ice_crosststamp_ctx — Device cross timestamp context 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no cap:

struct ice_crosststamp_ctx {
    struct system_time_snapshot snapshot;
    clockid_t snapshot_clock_id;
    struct ice_pf *pf;
    const struct ice_crosststamp_cfg *cfg;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

Four members, four little icons, let's go bestie 💖

  • snapshot — a snapshot of the system clocks, used for historic interpolation. It's the "remember what time it was" field, lowkey the whole point. 🕰️
  • snapshot_clock_id — the System clock ID for that snapshot. It's the clockid_t that says which clock we're talking about, iykyk. 🆔
  • pf — pointer to the PF private structure. Yes, a pointer to the PF private structure. Don't ask me to explain the PF, that's a different manpage's problem. 👑
  • cfg — pointer to the hardware configuration for cross timestamp. Points at a const struct ice_crosststamp_cfg, so it's read-only and it knows it. 🎀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

First off, the actual source file, because you will be going there:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp.c

Then the guest list — and bestie, it is a long guest list, but I'm not cutting a single name. Everybody gets an invite 💌

ngl bestie, if you actually read that entire SEE ALSO list top to bottom, you're built different. icon behavior only. 👑

And that's the page!! 🎀 This lil masterpiece lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, it's dated October 2026, and it's filed under the Kernel API Manual — struct ice_crosststamp_ctx(9), the one and only. bye bestie, go timestamp something 💜🦋✨
