_base_get_hi...s_msix_index(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 _base_get_hi...s_msix_index(9) — like, the whole page, bestie

okay so real talk: this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is _base_get_high_iops_msix_index. yes the header truncates it to _base_get_hi...s_msix_index(9) — that's just the page name doing its little abbreviation thing, don't come for her 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

_base_get_high_iops_msix_index — gets the msix index of high iops queues. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u8 _base_get_high_iops_msix_index (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , struct
scsi_cmnd *scmd );

note the return type: u8. tiny but mighty 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ioc — the per adapter object. yes, per adapter. she belongs to one adapter and one adapter only 💖
  • scmd — a scsi_cmnd object. that's the scsi command hanging out, minding its business ✨

👑 RETURN 👑

she hands you back the msix index of high iops reply queues — lowkey the whole point. and more specifically, per the original: i.e. the high iops reply queue on which the IO request's reply should be posted by the HBA firmware. so the HBA firmware knows exactly where to drop that reply. no cap 🔥
