✨ iavf_ptp_process_caps(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's a little function with big "glow-up after a reset" energy and honestly? we're obsessed. it's called iavf_ptp_process_caps and it lives rent-free in the Intel iavf driver's PTP corner 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

iavf_ptp_process_caps — handle change in PTP capabilities 💅 like, when the vibe of your PTP caps shifts, this is the girl who notices.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void iavf_ptp_process_caps (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

no cap, that's the whole signature. short. iconic. main character energy ⭐

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • adapter — the private adapter structure 🫶 that's her little home base, her emotional support struct, y'know? iykyk.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what's she actually doing? glad you asked, bestie 😭

iavf_ptp_process_caps handles any state changes necessary due to change in PTP capabilities ✨ — like, any state changes that need to happen when the PTP caps situation changes. and when exactly does that happen? think:

  • after a device reset 🔄 (the classic "we're back, but different" moment)
  • or a change in configuration from the PF 👑 (the parent function said "new rules, babe")

she just... sorts out all the state so everything lines up again. literally the friend who fixes your outfit after you've been crying in the bathroom. periodt. 💅

ngl she doesn't return anything — void — she just does the work and leaves. quiet luxury, honestly. 🧚
