💅 ixgbe_fw_recovery_mode_e610 — like, the whole vibe

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ixgbe_fw_recovery_mode_e610(9) — yes the manual name is Kernel API Manual and yes we're gonna say it out loud because context matters 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_fw_recovery_mode_e610 — check FW NVM recovery mode 🩺

Like, is the firmware okay or is it in its recovery-era? This function is the one who checks. No cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool ixgbe_fw_recovery_mode_e610 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

That's it. That's the whole call. She's short, she's bool, she's iconic. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. Just a pointer to the hardware struct, bestie, hand her over and let her do her thing 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: this function checks FW NVM recovery mode by reading the value of the dedicated register.

That's literally the whole bit — she reads the dedicated register, and from that value you find out whether the firmware is in recovery mode. Simple, elegant, slay ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • true if FW is in recovery mode 🌈
  • otherwise false 💀

Bool energy only. Two outcomes, zero drama (well, some drama if it's true, but you know).

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this is the long part and I'm obsessed — the whole ixgbe e610 cinematic universe, fr fr. Every single one:

and the kernel file itself, obviously, because she lives there:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_e610.c
💡 lowkey a whole reading list, but that's what happens when your driver has main character energy.
