🌸 NAME 🌸

ibmveth_reset — handles scheduled reset work 🫶 like, this is the function that shows up when reset work gets queued and someone's gotta deal with it. main character energy fr fr.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ibmveth_reset (struct work_struct *w );

just a lil void return and one argument, we love a clean signature 😌

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• w — pointer to work_struct embedded in adapter structure 💜 so it's not just any work_struct, it's specifically the one chillin' inside the adapter struct, iykyk

---

🔥 CONTEXT 🔥

okay this part is important so listen up bestie 👑

This routine acquires rtnl_mutex and disables its NAPI through ibmveth_close. literally, that's what it does.

⚠️ It can't be called directly in a context that has already acquired rtnl_mutex or disabled its NAPI, or directly from a poll routine. like, don't do it. that's the vibe check and it failed 🙈💀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

void — it returns nothing, periodt. no value, no drama, just vibes 💫
