🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ioc — the per adapter object 💖 like, the adapter's whole personality in one struct.
  • handle — the device handle 🎀 your little name-tag for the device in question.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe: during device pull, we need to appropriately set the sdev state. that's it. that's the whole description, and honestly? it ate. short, sweet, no cap 💅

fr fr though — the actual thing this function does is right there in the NAME section: it sets the device state to SDEV_BLOCK. that is the whole job and she does it well 👑
