📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_pci_err_slot_reset(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the page you've landed on is ice_pci_err_slot_reset(9). Yes that's a whole mouthful, no I will not be shortening it, it's iconic and it knows it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_pci_err_slot_reset — a PCI slot reset has just happened 💀 like, it literally just went down and now we're all standing here going "okay… and?"

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pci_ers_result_t ice_pci_err_slot_reset (struct pci_dev *pdev );

That's the whole vibe: you hand it a pdev, it hands you back a pci_ers_result_t. Clean, simple, main character energy 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pdev — the PCI device information struct. That's it, that's the whole mood. It's the device we're checking up on, bestie, so be nice to it 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So this one gets called to figure out whether the driver can actually recover from the PCI slot reset — and the way it does that is by using a register read to determine if the device is recoverable. That's the whole trick. One read. Very "let me just poke it and see if it's alive" of it, honestly 😭

ngl that's the entire function's job description. No extra lore, no secret steps. Register read → is it recoverable → that's the answer. Periodt 💅

And then the friend group. The whole friend group. Buckle up, bestie, because this list is long and every single one of them is invited to the group chat 🫶

Like I said. The whole friend group. 200+ icons and every one of them ate 💅

And that's the page, bestie 🎀 This little love letter to ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice is dated October 2026, straight from the Kernel API Manual — go forth and reset those slots responsibly ✨💖🦋
