✨ ixgbe_iosf_wait — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_iosf_wait(9) page 💖 this is the kernel API manual entry for a lil function that just sits there and waits for an IOSF command to finish, like when you're staring at someone typing and you're like "…any day now" 😭 anyway, here's the whole thing.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_iosf_wait — wait for IOSF command completion, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_iosf_wait (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 *ctrl );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🖥️ like, the whole hardware vibe
• ctrl — pointer to the location that receives the final IOSF control value 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns a failing status on timeout 😭 like when the command just ghosts you and never completes

---

💜 NOTE 💜

ctrl can be NULL if you don't actually need the IOSF control register value 🫶 so like, it's optional, periodt
