🫶 e1000e_check_reset_block_generic(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay bestie, this page comes from the Kernel API Manual, and the header/page name is e1000e_check...lock_generic(9). The actual function is e1000e_check_reset_block_generic, and it's lowkey a one-job icon. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

e1000e_check_reset_block_generic — check if the PHY reset is blocked. That's the whole vibe: one check, one answer. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 e1000e_check_reset_block_generic (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. You hand it a struct e1000_hw *, and it does its little check. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: it reads the PHY management control register and checks whether a PHY reset is blocked. If a reset is not blocked, it returns 0; otherwise it returns E1000_BLK_PHY_RESET (12). That's it — no extra sprinkles. ✨
