rvt_reset_qp(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… rvt_reset_qp(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual one, bestie

okay so real talk: this is rvt_reset_qp(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly such a mood. it's a tiny function that does one very specific thing, and the way it does it is lowkey art. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

rvt_reset_qp β€” initialize the QP state to the reset state. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void rvt_reset_qp (struct rvt_dev_info *rdi , struct rvt_qp *qp , enum ib_qp_type type );

like, that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama, no notes. she's void and she's thriving ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • rdi β€” the device info, aka the ~vibe~ of the device you're working with. she's the main character of this call ngl.
  • qp β€” the QP to reset. yes queen, we're resetting this one specifically.
  • type β€” the QP type. gotta know what kind of QP we're dealing with before we do anything 🧚

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: this is the wrapper function. and what does a wrapper do? it wraps. iconic behavior.

specifically, she goes and acquires the r_lock, the s_hlock, and the s_lock β€” all three, no cap β€” before calling _rvt_reset_qp. so like, the actual resetting happens elsewhere, but the locking? the locking is all her. she's the responsible friend who holds everyone's bags 🫢

three locks. then _rvt_reset_qp. that's the whole flow. periodt. πŸ’–

like, forty-plus besties. she's connected. iykyk πŸ’€βœ¨


ngl the fact that the lock-acquiring part is the whole description is giving "my job here is done" energy and i respect it so much πŸŽ€
