wx_ptp_tx_hang(9)
π wx_ptp_tx_hang(9) β the lil' page you're reading is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie
okay so welcome to wx_ptp_tx_hang(9), no cap the vibes here are extremely niche kernel-driver and honestly? we love that for us. this is one of those tiny helper functions that clocks in, does exactly one job, and doesn't make it weird. π
β¨ NAME β¨
wx_ptp_tx_hang β detect error case where Tx timestamp never finishes
like, that's literally it. it exists to catch the situation where your transmit timestamp is out here ghosting you forever and never finishing. it's giving "left on read but in kernel space." π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void wx_ptp_tx_hang (struct wx *wx );
so yeah β returns void (nothing back, it's not that kind of function π
) and takes exactly one arg. copy it exactly like that if you're writing it out, character for character, bestie. no "fixing" the spacing, i'm not gonna let you get clowned in code review. β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
wxβ private network wx structure. that's the whole deal. it's the private networkwxstruct, hand it over and you're done. one argument, zero drama, main character energy only. π«Ά
πΈ SEE ALSO πΈ
okay this is the fun part, the little web of friends this function runs with. say hi to the whole group chat:
- Kernel file
./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/libwx/wx_ptp.cβ that's the ~source of truth~ bestie, the actual file this lives in. ποΈ __wx_ptp_detach_tx_skb(9)wx_ptp_clear_tx_timestamp(9)wx_ptp_convert_to_hwtstamp(9)wx_ptp_tx_hwtstamp_work(9)wx_ptp_overflow_check(9)wx_ptp_rx_hang(9)wx_ptp_reset_cyclecounter(9)wx_ptp_suspend(9)wx_ptp_stop(9)wx_ptp_rx_hwtstamp(9)
that's eleven entries and yes we're listing every single one of them, i would never do you dirty by skipping one. go read them, they're all part of the same PTP wangxun libwx saga and honestly the lore is deep. ππ₯
quick vibe check: all of these are in section 9, the kernel API one. don't go looking for them in section 1, you'll just be sad. π
π§ a cute lil sign-off π§
and that's the page!! source/version line was sitting down there at the bottom being all mysterious: ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun... with the date October 2026, and the footer name was just wx_ptp_tx_hang(9) all over again because manpages love a little encore. go forth, detect those hanging Tx timestamps, slay, periodt. πβ¨π
