_ctl_set_task_mid(9)

💖 NAME

okay bestie, so this page is _ctl_set_task_mid(9) — it lives in the Kernel API Manual and it does exactly one iconic thing: assign an active smid to tm request. that's the whole gig. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

int _ctl_set_task_mid (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , struct
mpt3_ioctl_command *karg , Mpi2SCSITaskManagementRequest_t *tm_request
);

like yes she's a little scrunched up but she's serving exactly those three params, periodt 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS

• ioc — the per adapter object 🫶
• karg — typed as (struct mpt3_ioctl_command), she's just vibing in her lane
• tm_request — pointer to mf from user space (yes, that's what it says, iykyk)

---

🦋 RETURN

so you get 0 when an smid is found 😌✨ and if that doesn't happen? it fails. and listen — during failure, the reply frame is filled, so the failure lowkey comes with receipts 💀

okay and that's the whole page, bestie — she's short but she ate 🌈💖

this cutie lives in ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, and the date stamp on her is October 2026, so yeah she's from the future and still slaying 🎀✨👑
