pmcraid_initiate_reset(9)

💅 pmcraid_initiate_reset(9) — the reset initiator bestie

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely such a mood. it's giving "emergency reset energy" and honestly? iconic. let me spill 🫖

---

✨ NAME ✨

pmcraid_initiate_reset — initiates reset sequence. no cap, that's the whole vibe. it gets called from ISR/tasklet during error interrupts including IOA unit check (iykyk). if reset is already in progress, it just returns — like, "bestie i'm already on it, chill" 💅 — otherwise it initiates IOA reset to bring IOA up to operational state. main character energy fr fr.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void pmcraid_initiate_reset (struct pmcraid_instance *pinstance );

literally that's it. void return, one pointer. slay.

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pinstance — pointer to adapter instance structure. that's the whole tea. just a pointer to the adapter instance struct. no notes. 💖

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Return value: none. that's it. that's the whole description. it's giving minimalism, it's giving "the function says everything it needs to say in the NAME section," and honestly? we respect it. no cap. 🧚

and the kernel file itself is ./drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c — yes bestie, that one file is carrying the whole entire lore. 🔥

okay so final sign-off because we're done here: this page is from ./drivers/scsi and it's dated October 2026. bestie the future is now and it's still resetting IOA units. we love to see it. periodt. 💜🦋✨
