xcan_chip_stop(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… xcan_chip_stop (9) β€” from your Kernel API Manual bestie πŸŽ€

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, it's section 9, and it's about one (1) very specific little function. it's giving "small but crucial" energy and honestly? we're obsessed. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

xcan_chip_stop β€” literally the driver's stop routine. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it well πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void xcan_chip_stop (struct net_device *ndev );

like, no return value, no drama, just vibes and a void. periodt. πŸ’…


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • ndev β€” a pointer to the net_device structure. yes bestie, she needs the net device, don't come to her empty-handed πŸ™ˆ

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so this is the driver's stop routine. what does she do? two things, and both of them matter:

  • she disables the interrupts πŸ’€ (no more surprise knocking at the door, thank u)
  • she puts the device into configuration mode βš™οΈβœ¨

that's the whole glow-up. interrupts off, config mode on. main character behavior only πŸ‘‘

ngl it's a short description but that's because the function is short β€” don't read into it, she just knows exactly what she's about πŸ“
