📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild — the Kernel API Manual tea ☕

okay bestie, welcome to the <pink>ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild(9)</pink> page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that Kernel API Manual, the one we all live in 🫶. This little cutie is part of the Intel ice driver family and she's here to do the after-party cleanup, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild — reset tasks that occur after VSI rebuild 🌸

literally that's her whole job. she shows up after the rebuild. she does not do the rebuild. she is the post-rebuild main character 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild (struct ice_vf *vf );

that's it. that's the whole signature. one argument, returns void, does exactly what it says on the tin ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vf — the VF being reset 💖

like, the VF. the one getting reset. that one. 🫡

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the vibe: this function performs the reset tasks which must occur after the VSI has been re-created or rebuilt during a VF reset. the way that ordering matters… the VSI has to exist first, then she does her thing. it's giving "second act energy" 🎬

highkey important: this is the post step. re-created ✅ rebuilt ✅ — and then these reset tasks happen. don't come for her before the VSI is back, she will not know what to do with you 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the whole group chat, and yes we're tagging everyone, sit tight 🧚:

that's all 52 of them bestie, nobody got left on read 💅

ngl there are no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses on this page — she's a one-argument kernel function, not a command line tool. nothing to configure, nothing to break, just vibes and a struct pointer 🍓
