recovery_process(9)

💅 recovery_process(9) — the Kernel API Manual girlies ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to the recovery_process(9) page — yes that's a kernel API manual, yes it's the qed one, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

This is the page for recovery_process — literally just Trigger a recovery process. That's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. Let's go 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int recovery_process (struct qed_dev *cdev );

yeah that's it, that's the whole call. one function, one argument, int coming back at you 😌 so clean, so minimal, ate fr.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cdev — the Qed dev pointer 💅 that's it, that's the whole parameter. it's a struct qed_dev * and it's giving "main character energy," as it should 👑

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success 🎉 slay, we love a zero
• error otherwise 😭 (no specific numbers listed here bestie, don't come for me, i'm just the messenger)

ngl, "error otherwise" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, but we respect the mystery 🙈

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the page goes absolutely feral with cross-references, and we are NOT skipping a single one, because every single one of these is iconic in its own right 💜

First up, the kernel file itself — the whole fam lives in ./include/linux/qed/qed_if.h 🦋 and then:

• selftest_interrupt(9)
• selftest_memory(9)
• selftest_register(9)
• selftest_clock(9)
• selftest_nvram(9)
• can_link_change(9)
• set_link(9)
• get_link(9)
• drain(9)
• update_msglvl(9)
• nvm_flash(9)
• nvm_get_image(9)
• set_coalesce(9)
• set_led(9)
• attn_clr_enable(9)
• db_recovery_add(9)
• db_recovery_del(9)
• recovery_prolog(9)
• update_drv_state(9)
• update_mac(9)
• update_mtu(9)
• update_wol(9)
• read_module_eeprom(9)
• get_affin_hwfn_idx(9)
• read_nvm_cfg(9)
• read_nvm_cfg_len(9)
• set_grc_config(9)
• qed_sb_ack(9)

like, look at that list 😭 it's a whole friend group. recovery_prolog(9) is literally the prequel to this one — iykyk 🧚 and db_recovery_add(9) / db_recovery_del(9) are the recovery siblings, we stan a coordinated trio 💅✨
