ice_devlink_..._empr_finish(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so before we even start: yes, the title up top is ice_devlink_..._empr_finish(9) and yes it's from the Kernel API Manual — the truncation is just the man page being dramatic about long names 💅. The full, un-shortened function name is ice_devlink_reload_empr_finish, and that's the icon we're talking about today. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_devlink_reload_empr_finish — literally just wait for the EMP reset to finish. that's the whole vibe. it waits. it finishes. it slays 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_devlink_reload_empr_finish (struct ice_pf *pf , struct
       netlink_ext_ack *extack );

like, she takes two things and returns an int. no cap.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • pf — pointer to the pf instance 🧚 (yes, the struct pointer, the main character of this whole operation)
  • extack — the netlink extended ACK structure 🌈 (you know her, you love her)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea: this function waits for the driver to finish rebuilding after the EMP reset is completed. 🕐✨

and "waiting" here isn't just one little pause — highkey it includes time to wait for both:

  • the actual device reset itself, and
  • the time it takes for the driver's rebuild to complete 🛠️

so yeah, it's giving patient. it's giving "I'll be here when you're done." it's giving reliable bestie energy 😭💜

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file lives right here: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/devlink/devlink.c 📁

and here's the whole friend group — every single one of them, no skips, no cuts, we don't do that here 💅:

ngl, that SEE ALSO list is a whole squad 🫶 go read them, they're iconic.

aaaand that's the page! source/version line says ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and the date is October 2026, and the footer repeats ice_devlink_..._empr_finish(9) one more time because she loves a dramatic exit 💀✨ bye bestie, go wait for that EMP reset 🎀
