💅 pmcraid_reset_bringdown — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for pmcraid_reset_bringdown, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. it's a lil wrapper function that does one very specific job and then dips. no cap. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pmcraid_reset_bringdown — the wrapper over pmcraid_reset_reload that brings down the IOA. that's it, that's the whole personality. it's the "hand off the real work to someone else" of kernel functions, and honestly? relatable. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int pmcraid_reset_bringdown (struct pmcraid_instance *pinstance );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pinstance — pointer to the adapter instance structure. yes, it's pinstance, not "p_instance", not "instance", the kernel devs chose that spelling and we respect it 🫶 it's your one and only input, so treat it nice.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this function returns whatever gets returned from pmcraid_reset_reload. that's the entire description. it's a wrapper, it's a pass-through, it's the middleman that adds zero drama — literally just "whatever they said, I said it too" energy. 💀

Return Value: whatever is returned from pmcraid_reset_reload — no more, no less, no editorialising. periodt. 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the source lives in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c — go drink from the firehose if you want the full lore, iykyk. 🌈

then (deep breath, bestie, this is a long list and we are NOT skipping a single one, because every single reference is iconic in its own way):

like, that's the whole pmcraid cinematic universe right there. main character energy from every single one. 🌟

ngl bestie, that SEE ALSO list is a marathon — but you ate that. every reference accounted for, zero crumbs left behind. 🍓

and that's the whole page, diva 💜 sourced from ./drivers/scsi, dated October 2026, in the pmcraid_reset_bringdown(9) era. go forth and bring down that IOA (via the wrapper, obviously — let pmcraid_reset_reload do the actual heavy lifting) 🧚‍♀️⭐
