💅 _scsih_mark...ing_expander(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, where we talk about the mpt3sas driver's internal functions 💖. This one is short and sweet — she does exactly one job and she does it iconically. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME

_scsih_mark_responding_expander — marks a expander as responding ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

void _scsih_mark_responding_expander (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc ,
Mpi2ExpanderPage0_t *expander_pg0 );

Returns void btw, so like… don't expect anything back, she's not texting first 💀

💜 ARGUMENTS

  • ioc — the per adapter object 🫶 like, the whole adapter's vibe in one struct
  • expander_pg0 — SAS Expander Config Page0 🌸 (page zero specifically, don't @ me)

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So here's the lore 👑: after a host reset, this function goes and finds out whether devices are still responding. That's it, that's the whole plot. It's used in _scsih_remove_unresponsive_expanders — so she's basically the bestie who checks who's still in the group chat before the unresponsive ones get quietly removed 💀✨

🧚 SEE ALSO

Bestie has the ENTIRE contact list, and I mean everyone — no cap, we're listing all of them because nobody gets left out 🙈💖

Also, the kernel file lives at ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c 🎀

fr fr that's the whole list, iykyk 💀 she literally knows everyone in the kernel, main character energy periodt 👑

okay that's the whole page bestie, ily, go mark some expanders as responding 🌈💖
