_scsih_expander_node_remove(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ _scsih_expander_node_remove ✨

okay so this is a page from the kernel API manual, section 9 — buckle up bestie, it's a whole little lore drop 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

_scsih_expander_node_remove — the one where we're removing an expander device from the list 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void _scsih_expander_node_remove (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , struct
_sas_node *sas_expander );

like… that's the whole mood. void return, no notes, iconic 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ioc — the per adapter object, literally the whole adapter's main character ✨
  • sas_expander — the sas_device object, aka the thing we're about to say bye to 💜

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what's actually happening here? We're removing the object and freeing the associated memory from ioc->sas_expander_list — like, it's gone from the list and its memory is handed back. no leaks, no leftovers, we love a clean exit 💅

lowkey a flex that one function has this many friends tbh 💀 go read them, iykyk

and that's the whole page!! this little gem lives under ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas and it's stamped October 2026 — mwah, bye bestie, go free that expander's memory responsibly 🎀✨🦋
