kvmppc_gsb_reset(9)

💅 kvmppc_gsb_reset — bestie, we're emptying the buffer

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's genuinely the simplest slay in the whole guest-state-buffer family — think of it as the "clear your notes app before the new semester" of kernel functions 🧹✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

kvmppc_gsb_reset — empty a guest state buffer

truly the whole personality: we take a buffer and we make it empty. iconic minimalism, no notes 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void kvmppc_gsb_reset (struct kvmppc_gs_buff *gsb );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and a void 🌸

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• gsb — guest state buffer

that's it. one (1) argument. the guest state buffer is the main character here and we're just showing up to support her 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically: reset the number of elements and the length of the buffer to empty.

like, she's not going anywhere, she's not being freed, she's just getting her counters zeroed out so she can start fresh. glow-up arc, no cap ✨ literally just "nelems = 0, len = 0" energy and honestly? we love that for her.

lowkey a whole roster. if you're reading this page you probably want kvmppc_gsb_len(9) and kvmppc_gsb_nelems(9) next — those are the two things this function is out here resetting, iykyk 👀

and that's the page!! 💜 from ./arch/powerpc/include/asm, dated October 2026, the one and only kvmppc_gsb_reset(9) — go forth and empty your buffers responsibly, bestie, mwah 🎀✨
