qlcnic_83xx_idc_init_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 qlcnic_83xx_idc_init_state ✨

okay so bestie, we're deep in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a whole vibe — it's a function from the qlcnic driver family, and no cap, it's giving "the device wakes up and chooses chaos" energy 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

qlcnic_83xx_idc_init_state — literally just the name, that's the whole thing, the original page ships it with an empty description so we're not gonna invent one 🙈 (iykyk — sometimes a NAME section is just a name and that's iconic)

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int qlcnic_83xx_idc_init_state (struct qlcnic_adapter *adapter );

copy it exactly, no cap 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the adapter structure ✨ that's it, that's the whole argument list, one (1) adapter and she's carrying the entire function on her shoulders 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — the reset owner will restart the device from this state. That's the whole point of being here.

and the dramatic part 😭: the device will enter a failed state if it remains in this state for more than the DEV_INIT time limit. So like… don't linger, bestie 💀 this is not a state you camp out in. It's giving "you have DEV_INIT to get your life together or it's over" ⏰🔥

no joke though — that timeout is a real hard limit, not a vibe. Stay too long and the device goes to failed state, periodt.

💜 RETURN 💜

Error code or Success(0) — so like, 0 means slay, anything else means something went sideways and you should probably look into it 🧚✨
