e1000_stop_nvm(9)

💅 e1000_stop_nvm(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so picture this: you're deep in the igb driver, you've got an EEPROM command going, and now you need it to stop. That's the whole plot. Let me tell you about e1000_stop_nvm, she's a tiny little function with main character energy ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_stop_nvm — terminate that EEPROM command, periodt 🛑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void e1000_stop_nvm(struct e1000_hw *hw);

no cap, that's the entire signature. void in, void out, just vibes 💜

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does she actually do? She terminates the current command by inverting the EEPROM's chip select pin. That's it. That's the flex. 🎀

Literally just flips that chip select pin the other way and the current command is donezo. Iconic behavior, honestly. Not me being obsessed with a one-line function 😭

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🌈 (yes bestie, the hardware struct, you know the one)

ok that's the page!! mwah 🍓 this came straight out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, dated October 2026, and yes it's still titled e1000_stop_nvm(9) — slay, bye bestie 🧚‍♀️💜
