💅 ixgbevf_io_error_detected(9) — like, the whole vibe

okay so bestie, welcome to another page of the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is ixgbevf_io_error_detected(9). yes that's a long name. yes it's iconic. no we're not pronouncing it out loud 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_io_error_detected — the function that gets called when a PCI error is detected 🚨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pci_ers_result_t ixgbevf_io_error_detected (struct pci_dev *pdev ,
       pci_channel_state_t state );

that's the whole signature, no cap. two args, one return type, zero notes 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pdev — pointer to the PCI device, aka the little guy we're talking about 💜
  • state — the current pci connection state, like its status in the group chat 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the deal: this function is called after a PCI bus error affecting this device has been detected. that's it. that's the whole description. it's giving "short but important", it's giving "on the scene the moment things go wrong" 😭✨

like, the bus had a moment. the error got detected. and then this function shows up. periodt. 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the kernel file that's basically the family home:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf_main.c

and now the whole extended friend group (yes, all of them, we're not skipping anybody 🫶):

that's the whole crew, bestie. every single one. ate and left no crumbs 👑🔥

ngl the source path in the footer got truncated in the original — it literally shows ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... — so if you want the full path just look up at SEE ALSO, it's right there 🧚

and that's the page!! this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and it's ixgbevf_io_error_detected(9) forever and ever 💖✨🎀 mwah, go read the next one 🫶
