πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… 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 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

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 πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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 πŸ’€


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • adapter β€” 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 πŸ’–
  • trig_cause β€” the reason to trigger a reset. It's typed as enum idpf_flags, so you're literally passing a flag that says why we're doing this. Spill the tea, tell her the cause ✨

Heads up bestie β€” everything above is literally all the page gives us. Short page, mighty function. Don't go inventing extra behaviour, mwah πŸ’…

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 πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸ’œβ­
