adf_vf2pf_notify_shutdown(9)

💅 adf_vf2pf_notify_shutdown — from the Kernel API Manual bestie 🎀

Okay so picture this: it's kernel API manual o'clock, and the function we're stanning today is adf_vf2pf_notify_shutdown(9). That (9) is giving "kernel section, she's official" ✨ Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

adf_vf2pf_notify_shutdown</p> — literally just "send shutdown msg to PF". That's the whole vibe. Short, sweet, iconic. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void adf_vf2pf_notify_shutdown (struct adf_accel_dev *accel_dev );

No cap, that's the entire signature. Copy it exactly, bestie — the spacing is part of the look 👑

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• accel_dev — a pointer to the acceleration VF device, i.e. your VIP pass to the virtual function we're about to yell at. Don't lose it 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does she actually do? The function sends a shutdown message from the VF to a PF. That's it. That's the whole plot. VF says "ok bye 👋" to PF. Lowkey elegant, highkey necessary. 💜

✨ RETURN ✨

void — she returns nothing. No receipts, no follow-up, no "and also" — she simply does the thing and leaves. Main character energy fr fr 💅

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• The kernel file ./drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_pfvf_vf_msg.c — go read the source, iykyk 📖
• adf_vf2pf_notify_init(9) — her sibling, the "hello" to this "goodbye" 🌸

That's the whole page, bestie — no crumbs left behind. This little beauty lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the footer was serving ./drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat... with an October 2026 date stamp. Slay, see you in the next manpage 💖🦋🌟
