_scsih_check_for_pending_tm(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 _scsih_check_for_pending_tm(9) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this page is about one tiny little mpt3sas function that is honestly doing the most underrated work in the whole driver, and we're gonna walk through her together, no cap 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

_scsih_check_for_pending_tm — check for pending task management

it's giving "librarian checking the hold shelf" energy and honestly? obsessed 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u8 _scsih_check_for_pending_tm (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , u16 smid
);

yes the line breaks are exactly where she left them, we do not touch the formatting, periodt 💅

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • ioc — per adapter object 💜 this is the adapter she's working on, her whole little world
  • smid — system request message index ✨ the number that IDs the request, iykyk

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what is she actually doing?? she checks the delayed target reset list and feeds the next reqeust — and before you come for me: yes that's exactly how it's spelled on the page, the typo is canon, we respect it in this house 😭 (it means "request", ilysm, moving on).

like, picture a lil queue of target resets that got delayed, and she peeks at it and moves the next one along. lowkey the glue holding the retry pipeline together 🧚 no big deal, just main character energy ✨

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 1 — meaning mf should be freed from _base_interrupt 👑 so the interrupt handler takes it from here
  • 0 — means the mf is freed from this function 🫶 she handles it herself

so the return value is literally just "who's on cleanup duty" — and honestly the way she communicates that through a single u8? iconic 💅
