π qed_mcp_reset(9) β a Kernel API Manual moment π
okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and bestie it's short but it slaps. it's about qed_mcp_reset, which β spoiler β resets the MCP using a mailbox command. that's it. that's the whole vibe. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
qed_mcp_reset β reset the MCP using a mailbox command, no cap.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int qed_mcp_reset (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt *p_ptt );
literally just call it like that. two args, one int back. clean. π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
p_hwfnβ HW device data. it's the hardware function handle, the main character of the struct world πp_pttβ P_ptt. yes that's the whole description, i'm not making this up π
π RETURN π
0 upon success. that's the only documented outcome on this page, so if you get a 0 you ate, periodt. π₯

like, that's a lot of siblings. family reunion energy fr fr π
ngl this page is basically a one-liner with a huge friend list, and honestly? iconic. reset the MCP, get a 0, go touch some grass. π
