ibmvmc_reset(9)
π ibmvmc_reset β like, the Kernel API Manual girlies know β¨
okay so bestie, we're talking about ibmvmc_reset(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a short one but she's important. let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
ibmvmc_reset β Reset. yeah that's it, that's the name, she's a simple icon π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void ibmvmc_reset (struct crq_server_adapter *adapter , bool xport_event
);
π ARGUMENTS π
adapterβ thecrq_server_adapterstruct. that's her, that's the vibe check she's running on π¦xport_eventβ okay so this one's conditional, listen up:- if it's true, your partner closed their CRQ, so likeβ¦ we actually don't need to reset. no cap, we're good π
- if it's false, then yeah, we do need to schedule a CRQ reset. it's giving "unfortunately there is work to do" π
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she actually do? ibmvmc_reset closes all the HMC sessions β every single one, no stragglers, periodt π β and then conditionally schedules a CRQ reset. conditional being the main character word here, iykyk β
