💅 NAME 💅

fm10k_mbx_reset_work — Reset internal pointers for any pending work

Okay so bestie, this is from the Kernel API Manual and it’s all about fm10k_mbx_reset_work, the reset function for the FM10K mailbox. It’s giving “clean slate before the next era” energy. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fm10k_mbx_reset_work (struct fm10k_mbx_info *mbx );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mbx — pointer to mailbox. That’s the one and only argument, bestie. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function will reset all internal pointers so any work in progress is dropped. Like, poof, gone, no lingering half-done mailbox business. 💅

This call should occur every time we transition from the open state to the connect state. Not sometimes, not “when you remember” — every time, periodt. 👑

Fr fr: if you’re moving from open to connect, this reset needs to happen. That’s the whole vibe check.
