MakeIocReady(9)

💅 MakeIocReady(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it bestiecore 🫶

okay so bestie, this is MakeIocReady(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and we are literally here to get an IOC into a READY state. If KickStart has to get involved, it will. No cap, it's giving “wake up, we need you functional” energy. 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

MakeIocReady — Get IOC to a READY state, using KickStart if needed.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int MakeIocReady (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , int force , int sleepFlag );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so there are exactly three arguments, and yes, they all matter:

• ioc — Pointer to MPT_ADAPTER structure. Like, this is the whole IOC vibe right here. 🦋
• force — Force hard KickStart of IOC. It's giving “do it hard, bestie.” 🔥
• sleepFlag — Specifies whether the process can sleep. That's the sleep permission slip, fr fr. 😴

---

💖 RETURN 💖

the return value is literally the vibe check. Here's the whole menu:

• 1 — DIAG reset and READY
• 0 — READY initially OR soft reset and READY
• -1 — Any failure on KickStart
• -2 — Msg Unit Reset Failed
• -3 — IO Unit Reset Failed
• -4 — IOC owned by a PEER
