💅 i40e_reset_ch_rings(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, you found it — i40e_reset_ch_rings(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, the land of kernel functions where everything is a void and nobody tells you why 😭. This one is tiny. Like, two-arguments tiny. But it's doing real work in the i40e driver and we're gonna respect it. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_reset_ch_rings — Reset the queue contexts in a channel

That's it. That's the whole vibe. It resets the queue contexts in a channel. No cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i40e_reset_ch_rings (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , struct i40e_channel *ch);

it's giving "returns nothing, takes two pointers" — void return, so don't go looking for an int to check, she doesn't have one for you 🙈.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

two args, both pointers, both iconic in their own way:

  • vsi — the VSI we want to access 👑
  • ch — the channel we want to access 🦋

that's genuinely it. no optional extras, no secret third thing. the whole function is those two lines of context and a void. periodt.

the manpage does not tell us what happens if you pass something weird to these, so maybe don't? bestie please. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the actual kernel file it lives in:

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

and now... the part where i hold your hand, because the SEE ALSO on this page is not a short list. it's the entire i40e extended family showing up to the group chat at once. every single one of these is a real (9) reference and i am listing them ALL because we do not skip people in this house 💖:

like?? THAT is a family reunion 😭 every one of them got an invite and every one of them showed up. iykyk 🫶

ngl bestie, that SEE ALSO is longer than the actual function. two args, one void, 335-ish neighbors. that's the i40e driver for you 💀

and that's the whole page! this cutie comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 — go forth and reset those queue contexts, you absolute icon 👑✨🎀
