💖 velocity_update_hw_mibs(9) 💖

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for velocity_update_hw_mibs, and it's lowkey iconic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

velocity_update_hw_mibs — fetch MIB counters from chip 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature is literally:

void velocity_update_hw_mibs (struct velocity_info *vptr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vptr — the velocity to update, periodt 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the velocity hardware keeps certain counters on the hardware side. We need to read these when the user asks for statistics or when they overflow (causing an interrupt) 😭

and here's the important part: the read of the statistic clears it, so we keep running master counters in user space. that's the whole vibe, no cap 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
