set_reset_mode(9)

💅 set_reset_mode — NAME, bestie 💅

okay so like, set_reset_mode — it resets the CAN device mode. that's the whole vibe, that's the assignment ✨

it's a Kernel API page (that's the manual name for those keeping score 🎀), section 9.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int set_reset_mode (struct net_device *ndev );

that's it. one function, one argument, one purpose. main character energy honestly 👑

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ndev — pointer to a net_device structure 💖 like, a literal pointer to the net device struct, no cap. hand it over and let the driver do its thing.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this is the driver reset mode routine 💅 the driver literally enters into configuration mode. that's the whole plot. the way that this function just shows up and flips the driver into config mode?? iconic. periodt 🌈

no extra lore, no secret side quests — reset mode routine, configuration mode, done. iykyk 🦋

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success ✨
• a failure value on error 😭 (yes bestie, it can fail, check that return value fr fr)
