💅 idpf_idc_request_reset — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual, and this little icon named idpf_idc_request_reset is right there, living its best life. no cap, it's a whole moment. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_idc_request_reset — literally the callback that gets called by an Auxiliary Driver 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int idpf_idc_request_reset (struct iidc_rdma_core_dev_info *cdev_info ,
       enum iidc_rdma_reset_type reset_type );

that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, do not come for me about the spacing, it's giving "upstream formatting" 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdev_info — the IDC core device info pointer 💖 like, the whole identity of the device, okurrr
• reset_type — the type of reset: function, core, or other ✨ so you actually get to pick your vibe

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — an Auxiliary Driver accesses this callback function to request a reset on the Auxiliary Device. that's it, that's the whole job. main character energy, honestly 👑

it's a callback, so you're not calling the shots here — you're asking. respect the pipeline. 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 🎉 slay, it worked
• an error code on failure 😭 it's giving "not today"

one little note from me to you: this page belongs to ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, and yes it's stamped October 2026 — future-dated and still iconic. 🗓️🔥

and that's the page, idpf_idc_request_reset(9), from the Kernel API Manual — mwah, bye bestie, go request that reset responsibly 💖🎀✨
