i40e_reset(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 i40e_reset(9) — the "wait for the core reset, bestie" page 🌸

okay so real quick, this is a Kernel API Manual page (section 9, driver-land 💅) and it's about one tiny little function that has main character energy during a reset. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_reset — wait for core reset to finish reset, reset pf if corer not seen 😭

like, literally: you sit there and wait for the core reset to finish resetting, and if the core reset was never seen, you go reset the pf yourself. no cap, that's the whole job 🎀

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

int i40e_reset (struct i40e_pf *pf );

one function, one argument, one int coming back at you. she's simple, she's iconic 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — the board private structure 💜 (yes bestie, the whole board's private business, don't be weird about it)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where the manpage goes feral and lists basically the entire i40e driver. like every sibling function. every cousin. the whole family reunion. i'm obsessed 😭 the kernel file it points at is:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c

and then, in order, bestie:

like i said. the whole family. every single one of them showed up to the group chat 💀✨

anyway bestie, that's the page 🎀 source is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and this was i40e_reset(9) from the Kernel API Manual — slay, go reset something, ily 🫶💖
