💅 ixgbe_check_reset_blocked — a lil' intro 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to ixgbe_check_reset_blocked, straight out of section 9 of the Kernel API Manual. yes that's the real manual name, no cap. she's a tiny function, she's a bool, she's giving "one job and she does it" main character energy. let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_check_reset_blocked — check status of MNG FW veto bit 🌸

like literally just vibe-checking whether the manageability firmware is out here vetoing things. that's the whole personality.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ixgbe_check_reset_blocked (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure ✨ like, hand her the hardware struct and she'll go look at the bits for you, no questions asked 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea, bestie: this function checks the MMNGC.MNG_VETO bit 👀 — she's looking to see if there are any constraints on link coming from manageability. like, is management firmware out here holding the link hostage? she's gonna find out 💅

and for MACs that don't even have this bit? she just returns false, periodt. because on those MACs the link literally can not be blocked via this method — nothing to check, nothing to worry about, the answer is just no 💀✨
