✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void _scsih_internal_device_block (struct scsi_device *sdev , struct
       MPT3SAS_DEVICE *sas_device_priv_data );

no return value, she just does the thing and leaves 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • sdev — per device object 🫶 the actual scsi device we're messing with.
  • sas_device_priv_data — per device driver private data 💜 the driver's lil private stash for this device.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the whole vibe here is: make sure the device is blocked without error. that's the assignment, no cap.

and if it doesn't work? then print an error 😭 that's it. that's the entire function. she blocks, she checks, she complains if it goes wrong. iconic honestly ⭐
