🌸 igb_ptp_reset — the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for igb_ptp_reset(9) — yes that's the manual name, yes it's giving very serious business, and yes we're still gonna make it cute 💅

✨ NAME ✨

igb_ptp_reset — re-enable the adapter for PTP after a reset, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void igb_ptp_reset (struct igb_adapter *adapter );

literally that's the whole signature. she's a void, she returns nothing, she just does the thing 👑

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• adapter — the board private structure. like, the whole personality of the board in one struct 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this function right here? it handles the reset work that's required to re-enable the PTP device. that's it, that's the assignment.

translation: after a reset happens, PTP is basically like "ma'am I cannot function" and igb_ptp_reset is the friend who shows up with iced coffee and gets her back online ✨

the way that it's just quietly doing the reset work so the PTP device can be re-enabled again — iconic behavior honestly 😭
