ngbe_reset_hw(9)

💅 ngbe_reset_hw(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment

okay so this is ngbe_reset_hw(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, she's a little function with main character energy: she resets hardware. that's it. that's the post. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ngbe_reset_hw — Perform hardware reset 💥

like literally what it says on the tin. hardware? reset. iconic behaviour, no notes.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ngbe_reset_hw (struct wx *wx );

she takes exactly one (1) argument and hands you back an int, and honestly? she ate. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• wx — pointer to hardware structure. bestie she points at the hardware structure, that's the whole vibe. she needs to know which hardware she's resetting, obviously. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? okay, deep breath, because she does a whole little routine:

she resets the hardware by resetting the transmit and receive units, masks and clears all interrupts, performs a PHY reset, and performs a link (MAC) reset. 💖

the way that's four separate reset-ish things in one function and she's just casually doing them all. transmit ✔️ receive ✔️ interrupts masked and cleared ✔️ PHY reset ✔️ link (MAC) reset ✔️. she's thorough, she's organized, she's booked and busy. no cap. 🔥

lowkey she's the friend who shows up to help you move and just starts labelling boxes without being asked. that's her. that's the energy. 🧚

ngl she's a reset function, so treat her with a little respect — she's touching the transmit unit, the receive unit, the interrupts, the PHY and the link (MAC). that's a lot of responsibilities for one int-returning function and she said "yes and". 🙈
