STRUCT VIRTCHNL2_PTP_GET_DEV_CLK_TIME(9)

💖 struct virtchnl2_ptp_get_dev_clk_time(9) 💖

okay so real quick — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about one (1) tiny little struct that is associated with message VIRTCHNL2_OP_PTP_GET_DEV_CLK_TIME. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct virtchnl2_ptp_get_dev_clk_time — it's the struct that's associated with the message VIRTCHNL2_OP_PTP_GET_DEV_CLK_TIME. yes that's literally it, she's a package deal with that op 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct virtchnl2_ptp_get_dev_clk_time {
    __le64 dev_time_ns;
    u8 pad[8];
 };

look at her. two fields. tiny. perfect. no notes 😭✨

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• dev_time_ns — the device clock time value, and it's in nanoseconds. that's the actual number you came here for, bestie ⏱️
• pad — literally just padding for future extensions. she's a u8 array of 8 and her job is to take up space so future stuff can move in later. placeholder queen 👑

---

🦋 Description 🦋

so here's the lore: the PF/VF sends this message to receive the time from the main timer. that's it. that's the whole plot. PF or VF slides this in, and the main timer hands over the time. iconic behavior fr fr 🌈

mwah that's the page!! she lives in ./include/linux/net/intel and she was dated October 2026 — so go read the header, tell the main timer I said hi, and stan a tiny struct today 🌟💜🧚
