pmcraid_reset_type(9)

💅 pmcraid_reset_type(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for pmcraid_reset_type(9)! this one is short, iconic, and here to tell you when the IOA needs a hard reset — no cap. 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

pmcraid_reset_type — Determine the required reset type. yep, that's the whole mission: figure out what kind of reset is required. periodt. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pmcraid_reset_type (struct pmcraid_instance *pinstance );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pinstance — pointer to adapter instance structure. it's giving “the main character struct you're passing in” energy 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so listen: the IOA requires a hard reset if any of the following conditions is true. not “all,” bestie — any one of them. 🚨

1. If HRRQ valid interrupt is not masked
2. IOA reset alert doorbell is set
3. If there are any error interrupts

that's the vibe check. one true condition = hard reset territory. 😭🔥
