π idpf_vf_trigger_reset β bestie, we're triggering a reset
Okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β yes, the big kernel dev energy section. And the star of the show is idpf_vf_trigger_reset, which honestly does exactly what it says on the tin: it triggers a reset. No cap. Let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
idpf_vf_trigger_reset β trigger reset. That's it, that's the whole vibe. She's short, she's sweet, she's a one-line queen π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void idpf_vf_trigger_reset (struct idpf_adapter *adapter , enum
idpf_flags trig_cause );
Note the void up front, bestie β she does her thing and gives you nothing back. No return value, no drama, no receipts π
π ARGUMENTS π
adapterβ the driver-specific private structure. This is your main character, the whole setup for this driver, and you're handing her over so the function knows which world she's resetting πtrig_causeβ the reason to trigger a reset. It's typed asenum idpf_flags, so you're literally passing a flag that says why we're doing this. Spill the tea, tell her the cause β¨

Heads up bestie β everything above is literally all the page gives us. Short page, mighty function. Don't go inventing extra behaviour, mwah π
That's the whole read, and honestly? Iconic. This gem lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, dated October 2026, and she's filed under idpf_vf_trigger_reset(9) β go forth and reset responsibly, bestie π§ββοΈπβ
