atiixp_prereset(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

atiixp_prereset — okay so this one does the reset handling, bestie ✨

(this little cutie lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, iykyk 💅)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int atiixp_prereset (struct ata_link *link , unsigned long deadline );

That's the whole vibe. Two args, one int coming back, no cap 🌈

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• link — the ATA link, aka the thing we're out here resetting 🫶
• deadline — the deadline in jiffies for the operation, so like… the time budget, periodt ⏰

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the reset sequence literally checks the enable bits to see which ports are actually active 👑 That's the whole job. Reset sequence → enable bits → which ports are awake. Iconic, honestly 🧚
