ibmvmc_process_close_resp(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this page is ibmvmc_process_close_resp(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about Process Close Response. periodt 💅

• ibmvmc_process_close_resp — Process Close Response

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ibmvmc_process_close_resp (struct ibmvmc_crq_msg *crq , struct
       crq_server_adapter *adapter );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• crq — the ibmvmc_crq_msg struct 🫶
• adapter — the crq_server_adapter struct ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this command gets sent by the hypervisor in response to the management application Interface Close message. that's the whole plot, bestie.

And if the close fails? no cap, you simply reset the entire driver, because the state of the VMC must be in tough shape. 😭
