✨ bnx2x_state_wait(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 you're literally looking at bnx2x_state_wait(9) — a little kernel function that just... waits. patiently. like a bestie holding your iced coffee while you find your keys 🎀

---

💅 NAME

bnx2x_state_wait — wait until the given bit(state) is cleared 👑

like, it sits there and vibes until that bit is gone. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

int bnx2x_state_wait (struct bnx2x *bp , int state , unsigned long
*pstate );

it returns an int, takes three args, and honestly the line wrapping in the original is giving "sent from my phone at 3am" but we keep it exact fr fr 💀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS

• bp — the device handle 🫶 like, which device are we even doing this for
• state — the state which is to be cleared ✨ this is the bit we're waiting to see disappear
• pstate — the state buffer 🎀 the memory holding said state

---

⭐ SEE ALSO

okay this is the part where the manpage just dumps the entire friend group 😭 every last one of them, no gatekeeping, periodt:

lowkey reminder bestie: the file path in the original reference was cut off as ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... — that's the truncated form, and the full-ish one above is the one given in the SEE ALSO. both are just the bnx2x_sp.c source file, no cap 🧚

🌈 the cute sign-off

this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yes, truncated, we stay mysterious 💅), dated October 2026, and it's page bnx2x_state_wait(9) of the Kernel API Manual. slay, go wait on that bit, mwah 🫶💖✨
