✨ gaudi2_execute_soft_reset ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's all about gaudi2_execute_soft_reset, which is lowkey the gentlest way to tell your habanalabs device "hey... wake up, we're starting over 💅". It's a soft reset. Not a hard one. We do not slam doors in this house.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gaudi2_execute_soft_reset — execute soft reset by driver/FW 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int gaudi2_execute_soft_reset (struct hl_device *hdev , bool
driver_performs_reset , u32 poll_timeout_us );

she returns an int, she takes three args, she's iconic, periodt ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hdev — pointer to the habanalabs device structure. like, this is the device. your main character. 👑
• driver_performs_reset — true if driver should perform reset instead of f/w. yes bestie, you get to decide who does the resetting — the driver or the firmware. choose wisely 💀
• poll_timeout_us — time to wait for response from f/w. it's in microseconds, ngl, so it's giving "blink and you'll miss it" ⭐

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This function executes soft reset based on if driver/FW should do the reset — iykyk, that's literally the whole vibe check: the driver_performs_reset flag says who's on reset duty, and this function makes it happen. no cap, that's it, that's the function 🌈
