📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fm10k_reset_hw_pf — PF hardware reset 🎀

okay so bestie, grab your lil' kernel manual (it's a section 9 page, fm10k_reset_hw_pf(9), and yes we're reading driver internals for fun now, that's the vibe) because this one is short, sweet, and honestly kind of iconic in its simplicity.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 fm10k_reset_hw_pf (struct fm10k_hw *hw );

that's it. that's the whole signature. one function, one pointer, returns an s32. slay. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. like, the whole entire hardware struct. give her the goods and she'll do the rest, no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole deal: this function should return the hardware to a state similar to the one it is in after being powered on. 🔥

that's it. that's the description. it's giving "factory reset but make it hardware." main character energy fr fr — she takes your hardware and puts it right back to that fresh-out-the-box, just-booted-up vibe. the way that fm10k_reset_hw_pf just resets the whole PF... obsessed. 💖

note the "should" in there, bestie — the manual says should, and we're keeping it exactly like that. no inventing behaviour, no extra claims, we're just vibing with what the page tells us. 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long, like she's got connections everywhere. all of these are siblings in the fm10k PF zoo, iykyk 🦋:

like, that's the whole friend group and honestly? they all ate. 💜

mwah 💋 — this page came from the source/version line that shows ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... and it's dated October 2026, and yes the title bar of this whole thing is literally fm10k_reset_hw_pf(9) twice over because manpages are extra like that. periodt. 🧚‍♀️✨
