📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ixgbevf_hv_reset_hw_vf — the Hyper-V reset one, from the Kernel API Manual ✨

Okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about ixgbevf_hv_reset_hw_vf(9) — yes that's the whole name, she's long, she's iconic, she's a kernel function. Comes to us from the Kernel API Manual, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_hv_reset_hw_vf — reset via Hyper-V 🌀

Like, the whole vibe is: we're doing a reset, but the Hyper-V way. Periodt.

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

s32 ixgbevf_hv_reset_hw_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

That's it, that's the whole signature. s32 in, pointer in, s32 out 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to private hardware struct. She's your hardware bestie, the private one, lowkey holding all the state. 🧚

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this is the Hyper-V variant of the reset, okay? And the way it works is the VF/PF communication is through the PCI config space. That's the whole tea ☕ — VF and PF talk it out via PCI config space. Literally that's where the conversation happens. ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

The kernel file source, first of all:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/vf.c

And then the whole friend group, all of them, in order, no skipping 👑:

Heads up bestie: I didn't change a single flag, argument or name up there — every one of those is exactly as written in the source. Copy them verbatim or the kernel will simply not vibe with you 💀

💅 And that's the page! Signing off from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... — yes that's the truncated source path, that's just how she renders — dated October 2026, for ixgbevf_hv_reset_hw_vf(9). Slay, go reset something. 🎀✨💖
