ipr_reset_alert(9)

💅 ipr_reset_alert — NAME ✨

ok so ipr_reset_alert — it alerts the adapter that a reset is pending, bestie. That's the whole vibe. It's from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel internals, iykyk).

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ipr_reset_alert (struct ipr_cmnd *ipr_cmd );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ipr_cmd — the ipr command struct. that's it, that's the one argument, she's low maintenance 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: this function's whole job is to alert the adapter that it's about to get reset. Like a text in the group chat that says "hey heads up, something's happening" 💅

Here's the tea though — if memory space is not currently enabled, it doesn't mess around, it proceeds directly to running BIST on the adapter. No detours, no extra steps, straight there.

And the timer? the timer must always be started. Always. Every time. Not optional, not a suggestion, this is the rule 🫶 The reason is honestly iconic: that's how we guarantee we do not run BIST from ipr_isr. So the timer is the whole safety net, periodt.

Return value: IPR_RC_JOB_RETURN — that's what she returns, every time, no cap 😌
