💅 ixgbevf_clear_rst_vf(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the section 9 page for ixgbevf_clear_rst_vf, and honestly? she's a little legend. tiny function, huge job. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbevf_clear_rst_vf — clear PF reset bit. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbevf_clear_rst_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

literally returns nothing (void) and takes exactly one thing. no notes. she's clean. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. yeah. that one. the big one. the main character of the whole driver. she needs it to know which hardware we're talking to 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function is used to clear the reset indication and the reset done bit in the VFMAILBOX register. but when? glad you asked bestie:

  • after resetting the shared resources, and
  • after the reset sequence

so it's like the little "okay we're SO done with resetting, wrap it up" moment 😭✨ no cap, someone's gotta do the cleanup and it's her.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

she doesn't work alone, bestie — this is a whole friend group 🫶:

like, that's the whole mailbox squad 💀 go read them too, iykyk 🧚

go drink some water and remember: clearing bits is self-care. 🌸
