ice_wait_on_vf_reset(9)

💅 ice_wait_on_vf_reset(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the kernel API manual, we're looking at ice_wait_on_vf_reset today and honestly? she's a small one but she's doing her job 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_wait_on_vf_reset — literally poll until a given VF is ready after a reset. that's the whole vibe check, no cap 💅

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void ice_wait_on_vf_reset (struct ice_vf *vf );

like, she takes one thing and returns nothing. void queen. main character energy 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vf — the VF that's being reset (the manpage itself says "resseting", which is a typo and honestly? iconic of her. we keep it. 💀). this is the poor little VF you're waiting on.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the max poll time here is about ~800ms. and no, that's not a random number pulled out of nowhere — that's roughly the maximum amount of time it takes for a VF to be reset and/or for a VF driver to be removed. so you're basically sitting there refreshing like 😭 for at most ~800ms and then you know what's up.

not me thinking that's lowkey a reasonable timeout, fr fr.

ngl if you're digging around in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ you're basically in the intel ice driver's group chat already. say hi to everyone for me 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 sourced straight from the ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice directory, dated October 2026, and officially filed under ice_wait_on_vf_reset(9). go wait on that VF, she'll be ready in ~800ms tops. slay ✨🎀💜
