📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 nvme_init_cross_ctrl_reset(9) — like, the libnvme API manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in libnvme land (the API manual, to be exact) and you need to set up a passthru command buffer for a Cross-Controller Reset. That's the whole vibe of this page. Sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_init_cross_ctrl_reset — the function that initializes a passthru command for a Cross-Controller Reset. Yes, that's literally its job, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_cross_ctrl_reset (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd ,
       __u16 icid , __u8 ciu , __u64 cirn );

Like — she returns void, she takes four things, she's an icon, periodt. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cmd — the passthru command you're gonna use. It's a struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *, and it's the thing getting initialized. Main character energy fr. 💖
  • icid — the Impacted Controller ID (ICID). Type: __u16. It's giving "which controller is impacted" iykyk. 🦋
  • ciu — the Controller Instance Uniquifier (CIU) of the Impacted Controller. Type: __u8. Yes bestie, "uniquifier" is a real word here, I don't make the rules. 🌸
  • cirn — the Controller Instance Random Number (CIRN) of the Impacted Controller. Type: __u64. Random but make it 64-bit. 🎲✨

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So what does she actually do? She initializes the passthru command buffer for the Cross-Controller Reset command. That's it, that's the whole thing — but like, do it right, okay? Lowkey essential. 💅

Heads up: cmd is an out-param situation — you hand her the buffer, she sets it up for the Cross-Controller Reset. Don't skip the setup, bestie, your command literally won't be ready 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Nothing else listed on this page — she's a standalone queen. 👑
