ethtool_mmsv_stop(9)

✨ ethtool_mmsv_stop(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ethtool_mmsv_stop page — it's a kernel API manual entry from the ethtool corner of the world, and it's literally about stopping MAC Merge Software Verification 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ethtool_mmsv_stop — Stop MAC Merge Software Verification. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ethtool_mmsv_stop (struct ethtool_mmsv *mmsv );

that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• mmsv — the MAC Merge Software Verification state. yes queen, that's the struct you're handing over 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea, bestie: drivers should call this method when the hardware is about to lose state — think ndo_stop or suspend energy 😭 — and in that sitch, turning off MAC Merge features would be superfluous. like, why bother, the hardware's already heading out the door 💀

otherwise? prefer ethtool_mmsv_link_state_handle with up=false. that's the move 👑

fr fr, don't just call this whenever — it's for the "hardware is losing its state anyway" moment, not your everyday teardown 🌈
