_ctl_check_event_type(9)

💅 _ctl_check_event_type — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is _ctl_check_event_type(9) from the kernel API manual, and she is lowkey the bouncer at the door of the event log. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

_ctl_check_event_type — literally determines when an event needs logging, no cap 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int _ctl_check_event_type (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , u16 event );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ioc — the per adapter object 🫶 (yes, per adapter, she's loyal like that)
• event — the firmware event 💫

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the bitmask in ioc->event_type[] is the whole main character here — it indicates which events should be be saved in the driver event_log 📓. and this bitmask? it's set by the application. like, the app is the one picking the vibe, not the driver. periodt 💅

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns 1 when the event should be captured 👑, or zero — which means no match 😭 fr fr.
