💅 reset_control_reset(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so literally welcome to the reset_control_reset(9) page, it's from the Kernel API Manual and it's giving "short but mighty" energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

reset_control_reset — reset the controlled device. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she does one thing and she does it well 💖

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int reset_control_reset (struct reset_control *rstc );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • rstc — the reset controller, your main character of the moment 👑

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay bestie listen up because this part is important, no cap 🫶

On a shared reset line, the actual reset pulse is only triggered once for the lifetime of the reset_control instance. so for all but the first caller, this is a total no-op — like, nothing happens, she's just standing there 💀

⚠️ Consumers must not use reset_control_(de)assert on shared reset lines when reset_control_reset has been used. like, please don't, it's not a vibe 🙈

And if rstc is NULL? that's an optional reset, and the function will just return 0. lowkey the easiest job in the kernel, and honestly? slay 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

like, go read these too, they're all iconic in their own way 💜

and that's the whole page!! 🧚 mwah 💋
