✨ ixgbevf_reset_hw_vf(9) ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up — this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about ixgbevf_reset_hw_vf, the little function that does a whole hardware reset. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ixgbevf_reset_hw_vf — performs hardware reset. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she resets. 🔥

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 ixgbevf_reset_hw_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

like, you hand her a pointer and she gives you back an s32. no cap, that's the whole deal ✨

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. literally just a pointer to the hardware struct, and she'll take it from there 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she actually do, you ask? ixgbevf_reset_hw_vf resets the hardware by resetting the transmit and receive units, and masking and clearing all interrupts. the way she just… handles the tx and rx units and the interrupts in one go?? main character energy fr fr 👑

basically: tx unit — reset. rx unit — reset. interrupts — masked, then cleared. everything tidy. slay 💅
