ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” yes we're in that part of the tree today, and honestly? iconic behaviour. this one's a little vibe check for the VF side of things: wx_check_for_rst_vf β€” checks to see if the PF has reset. that's it. that's the whole gig. πŸŽ€

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

⭐ RETURN ⭐
