i40e_notify_..._of_vf_reset(9)

💅 i40e_notify_client_of_vf_reset 💅

okay bestie, so this one's from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally called i40e_notify_client_of_vf_reset. say it with me: notify client of VF reset. slay. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_notify_client_of_vf_reset — call the client vf reset callback 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i40e_notify_client_of_vf_reset (struct i40e_pf *pf , u32 vf_id );

not me copying that exactly, periodt. 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• pf — the PF device pointer, aka the whole-PF energy you're working with 🔥
• vf_id — the absolute id of the VF that's being reset, no cap 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe check: if there's a client attached to this PF, this function notifies that client when a VF gets reset. that's it. that's the whole plot. ⭐

like, it's giving "hey bestie, one of your VFs just got reset, you might wanna know" — and if nobody's attached? nothing happens, it just chills. 🙈
