i40e_reset_and_rebuild(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 i40e_reset_and_rebuild — that's the Kernel API Manual, section (9), bestie

okay so we're deep in the kernel docs, in the (9) section — the Kernel API Manual, which is where all the internal kernel function pages live. this one is the reset-and-rebuild girlie and she's lowkey iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_reset_and_rebuild — reset and rebuild using a saved config 💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole entire signature, and yes it's exactly this, don't come for me:

void i40e_reset_and_rebuild (struct i40e_pf *pf , bool reinit , bool
lock_acquired );

it returns void btw, so like… she doesn't hand you anything back. main character energy that doesn't need validation 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

three args, all of them matter, no skips:

  • pf — the board private structure 🎀 this is the whole board's little diary, and she's holding it.
  • reinit — if the Main VSI needs to re-initialized. 👑 (yes it says "re-initialized", we stay faithful to the words. that's the bool, so true/false it.)
  • lock_acquired — indicates whether or not the lock has been acquired before this function was called. 🔒 literally just tells you if somebody already grabbed the lock before calling in, so like… know your lock status before you come in here, fr fr.

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

first up, the actual file where this lives — the kernel file:

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

and now… the squad. the whole squad. all of them. ngl this list is giving "group chat with 300 people and every single one is relevant" 😭 but we don't skip a single name, that's the rule:

and that's the whole squad, every single one accounted for, not a name dropped 💀💖

no warnings, no exit statuses, no env vars on this page — it's a tiny little page and she ate anyway. 🍓

okay that's the page!! signing off with the receipts, bestie: this one comes from the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and the version stamp is October 2026 ✨🧚 keep slaying in (9) land, ily, bye 💜🎀
