💅 i40e_clear_pxe_mode — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a tiny one but it's lowkey important. it's giving "small function, big responsibility." let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_clear_pxe_mode — clears the pxe operations mode. that's it. that's the job. no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void i40e_clear_pxe_mode (struct i40e_hw *hw );

that's the whole signature. she's short, she's void, she takes one pointer and she takes it seriously 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct. literally just a pointer to the hardware struct, bestie. that's the entire argument. one (1) pointer. iconic behavior honestly 👑

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so what does she do? she makes sure all PXE mode settings are cleared, including things like descriptor fetch/write-back mode. so if the hardware is still in that PXE leftover state, this function is the one that goes in and wipes it clean 🧚✨

that's the whole description. she's not complicated, she just does her one job and she does it well. main character energy fr fr 💖

ngl, the name is self-explanatory: clear. pxe. mode. the way that she's literally named after exactly what she does 😭💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because this list is long. like, genuinely long. the whole i40e family is here and they all said "we're coming to the function" 🎉

and first up, the source file herself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c

now the (very) extended fam 🌈:

like I said. long. the whole friend group showed up and they're all tagged in the group chat 😭💖

and that's the page, bestie 🎀 this one lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 — so yes, she's from the future, and she ate. periodt 💅✨
