i40e_vc_notify_vf_reset(9)

💅 i40e_vc_notify_vf_reset — the kernel API manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the i40e driver manual pages (that's the Intel ethernet one, iykyk) and this tiny little function is our main character today. no cap, it's short, but it matters. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_vc_notify_vf_reset — (the original literally leaves the description blank here, so like… the vibe is "the name speaks for itself," and we respect that 💅)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i40e_vc_notify_vf_reset (struct i40e_vf *vf );

literally one parameter, one void, that's the whole flex. 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vf — pointer to the VF structure. that's it, that's the arg. she points at a VF and we go from there 💜

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she do? she indicates a pending reset to the given VF. that's the whole job — a little heads-up, a "hey bestie, reset's coming 👀" delivered to whichever VF you handed her.

not me being obsessed with how simple that is. iconic behavior. periodt.
