qlcnic_83xx...x_soft_reset(9)

🦋 NAME 🦋

qlcnic_83xx_idc_tx_soft_reset — okay bestie, this is the little gremlin of a function that handles a context delete-and-recreate request coming at it from the transmit routine ✨ (yes, the whole page is from the Kernel API Manual, tysm for asking 💖)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int qlcnic_83xx_idc_tx_soft_reset (struct qlcnic_adapter *adapter );

That's it. That's the whole vibe check. One function, one argument, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the adapter structure 🫶 like, the whole network adapter's info blob, that's what you're handing over. It's giving "here, hold my entire identity" energy.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the transmit routine is out here like "hey, I need this context deleted and recreated, can you handle it" and this function is the one that's literally built for that request 🔥 It handles the context deletion and recreation request from the transmit routine. That's the whole job. Not me explaining it more dramatically than the manpage did, because that's all it says, and I refuse to make stuff up 😭

Returns -EBUSY or Success (0) — so either it's busy (rude) or it slayed and returned 0 👑
