📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fm10k_prepare_for_reset — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is fm10k_prepare_for_reset(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and no cap, she's a little function with a big job 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

fm10k_prepare_for_reset — get the driver and the device all cozy and packed up for a reset that's about to happen 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool fm10k_prepare_for_reset (struct fm10k_intfc *interface );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • interface — the fm10k private data structure, aka the little bag of secrets this driver carries around 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this function is the "okay everyone, wrap it up" moment 💅 It prepares for a device reset by shutting down as much as it possibly can — like, as much as we can, not necessarily everything, bestie, so don't come for her.

but here's the twist 👀 If __FM10K_RESETTING was already set before you called this function, she does absolutely nothing and returns false. No work, no drama, no notes.

If she did actually do work? She returns true. periodt. ⭐
