Okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat for __virtio_clear_bit β€” a tiny little helper that clears feature bits, and it's specifically for use by transports. That's the whole vibe. It's a behind-the-scenes king, not a main character you call from your random driver, iykyk. πŸ‘‘

No return value, she's a void, she just does the thing and leaves. πŸ’…


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • vdev β€” the device 🫢 like, the actual struct virtio_device you're working on, the whole point of the operation
