💅 triflex_prereset — probe begin

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the whole manual, and today's main character is triflex_prereset(9). She's short, she's sweet, she's literally a probe begin. Let's get into it ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int triflex_prereset (struct ata_link *link , unsigned long deadline );

That's it. Two args, one int coming back atcha. Iconic, honestly 🎀

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• link — an ATA link, bestie. The whole point. The moment. The ATA link in question 💖
• deadline — the deadline in jiffies for the operation, so like… how long you've got before this thing needs to be done. Respect the deadline, fr fr ⏰

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does she do? Two things, and she does them well:

• sets up the cable type 🛠️
• uses generic probe init ✨

That's the whole vibe. No cap, that's literally the entire description, and she ate 💅
