okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual page for ixgbe_reset_hw_82598 — yes that's a whole mouthful, no we're not shortening it, the 82598 is iconic and she knows it 💅 this one lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual and she's literally about to hard-reset some networking silicon, so buckle up 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_reset_hw_82598 — Performs hardware reset. that's it. that's the whole name. short, sweet, slays 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_reset_hw_82598 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. like, the actual hardware struct, the main character of this whole operation 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Resets the hardware by resetting the transmit and receive units, masks and clears all interrupts, performing a PHY reset, and performing a link (MAC) reset.

ngl that's a LOT of resetting happening in one function call — transmit unit, receive unit, interrupts masked AND cleared, plus a PHY reset, plus a full link (MAC) reset. she's giving "one function, five jobs, zero complaints" energy 😭✨ it's basically a full factory-reset moment for the 82598 and honestly? we're obsessed 💜
