STRUCT IONIC_LINK_CHANGE_EVENT(9)

💖 NAME

struct ionic_link_change_event — link change event notification, bestie! This is from the Kernel API Manual, and the header/title energy near the top is struct ionic...change_event(9). It’s literally the struct for when the network link state changes between UP and DOWN. No cap, it’s giving “the link has entered the chat.” 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS

struct ionic_link_change_event {
    __le64 eid;
    __le16 ecode;
    __le16 link_status;
    __le32 link_speed;
    u8 rsvd[48];
};

🫶 Members

• eid — event number. It’s the receipt number for the event, basically. 🧾
• ecode — event code = IONIC_EVENT_LINK_CHANGE. This is the “yes, it’s a link change” stamp. ✅
• link_status — link up/down, with error bits (enum ionic_port_status). So you get up/down plus the error-bit of it all. 🚦
• link_speed — speed of the network link. Gotta know how fast we’re going, bestie. 🏎️
• rsvd — reserved byte(s). Not for us, hands off. 🙅‍♀️

🌈 Description

Sent when the network link state changes between UP and DOWN. That’s the moment: the link state changed, and this event said “noted.” 💌🦋

Cute sign-off time: source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensand..., date is October 2026, and the page title is struct ionic...change_event(9). Stay iconic, bestie! 🫶💖✨
