🌸 ixgbe_cancel_pending_update 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_cancel_pending_update(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the whole flex, we're in the kernel docs now, main character energy fr fr ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_cancel_pending_update — cancel any pending update for a component 🫶

Like, you had an update queued up and now you're like "nvm, not today" and you call it off. Iconic behavior honestly.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_cancel_pending_update (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter , const
char *component , struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

That's the whole vibe check — returns an int, takes three args, one of them's a const char * so it's not about to go off and change your strings, we love that for us 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the PF driver structure. this is the whole driver situation, the big one, the parent friend of the group chat 👑
• component — if not NULL, the name of the component being updated. so like, you can be specific and cancel just that one component's pending update. lowkey surgical 💅 (and if it is NULL, keep reading bestie 👀)
• extack — Netlink extended ACK structure. this is the little messenger that carries the details back, and you know we love a good receipt 🙈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Cancel any pending update for the specified component. So simple, so clean ✨

And here's the plot twist that ate: if component is NULL, all device updates will be canceled. like, the entire group chat, gone, muted, done. no cap, that's the whole thing 🫶

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success — slay, we canceled it, we're that girl 💅
• a negative error code on failure — not slay, something went wrong, the vibe check failed 😭
