STRUCT MXL862XX_QOS_METER_CFG(9)

💅 struct mxl862xx_qos_meter_cfg(9) — Rate meter configuration ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct mxl862xx_qos_meter_cfg(9) — yes the header got squished in the original (struct mxl8...os_meter_cfg(9), iconic truncation energy) but we're spelling it out fully here. This is the rate meter config struct and it's genuinely so important, let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct mxl862xx_qos_meter_cfg {
    u8 enable;
    __le16 meter_id;
    char meter_name[32];
    __le32 meter_type;
    __le32 cbs;
    __le32 res1;
    __le32 ebs;
    __le32 res2;
    __le32 rate;
    __le32 pi_rate;
    u8 colour_blind_mode;
    u8 pkt_mode;
    u8 local_overhd;
    __le16 local_overhd_val;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct. look at all those __le32s, she's structured 💅

🌸 Members 🌸

• enable — turns the meter on/off, like a lil light switch for rate limiting 💡
• meter_id — the meter's ID. bestie, firmware assigns this one on alloc, so you don't get to pick it yourself, that's not your job 🎀
• meter_name — a string with the meter's name. it's a char meter_name[32] so keep it cute and keep it short ✨
• meter_type — which metering algorithm we're doing: srTCM = 0, trTCM = 1. pick your fighter 👑
• cbs — Committed Burst Size, in bytes. the "how much can you get away with" number 📏
• res1 — Reserved. leave it alone, it's not for you 🙈
• ebs — Excess Burst Size, in bytes. the bonus round 💖
• res2 — Reserved too. scope it out, don't touch 💀
• rate — Committed Information Rate, in kbit/s. the main character number, fr fr 🔥
• pi_rate — Peak Information Rate, in kbit/s. the "but like, at your absolute peak" number ⭐
• colour_blind_mode — enables colour-blind mode. slay 🌈
• pkt_mode — enables packet mode 📦
• local_overhd — enables local overhead accounting 🧮
• local_overhd_val — the local overhead accounting value, the actual number that goes with the flag above 💜

like, that's a lot of see-also, but that's the mxl862xx api family for you — she's social 💅

and that's the page bestie!! 🎀 this one lives at ./drivers/net/dsa/mxl862xx, dated October 2026, and it's from the Kernel API Manual. go forth and meter your rates responsibly, mwah 😘💖
