bnxt_io_error_detected(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 bnxt_io_error_detected(9) — like, the PCI-error bestie we all need 🩹

okay so before we even start: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — the big-girl kernel-functions section, not your random shell-command section. got it? good. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bnxt_io_error_detected — the function that gets called when a PCI error is detected 😭 like actually, that's its whole job title

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pci_ers_result_t bnxt_io_error_detected (struct pci_dev *pdev ,
pci_channel_state_t state );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pdev — pointer to the PCI device 💖 it's literally the device we're talking about, mwah
  • state — the current PCI connection state 🦋 aka "how's the link doing rn" — this is what's up with the connection

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so basically: this function gets called after a PCI bus error affecting this device has been detected. that's the vibe. the bus had a moment 💀, the error got noticed, and then this baby runs.

it's giving "first responder energy" honestly 👑 like it's not out here fixing anything on its own (not in this page it's not), it just gets the call when the bad thing happens. main character function, fr fr.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the actual kernel file that lives and breathes this code:

like they're literally all in the same friend group 🧚

⭐ genuine reminder bestie: this page is documentation for a kernel function — the details above are literally the entire page. no hidden lore. read the source file if you want the full tea 💜

and that's a wrap, gorgeous ✨ this was bnxt_io_error_detected(9) from the Kernel API Manual, sourced from that icon ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yes it's truncated on the page, don't @ me 😭), dated October 2026 — mwah, periodt 🍓💖🎀
