okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for _scsih_pcie_add_device — yes that leading underscore is real, yes it's giving "private function who doesn't want to be perceived", and yes we're gonna read it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

_scsih_pcie_add_device — creating pcie device object 🌸 literally that's the whole job. it makes the object. that's it. that's the function.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int _scsih_pcie_add_device (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , u16 handle ,
u8 retry_count );

returns an int, takes three things, slays 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ioc — per adapter object ✨ like, the adapter's very own object. it's the main character here, no cap.
  • handle — pcie device handle 💖 the little ID badge the pcie device wears.
  • retry_count — number of times this event has been retried 🔁 that's how many attempts this event has already been through. track it, girl.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Creating end device object, stored in ioc->pcie_device_list 🦋

so basically: a new end-device object gets created and it lives in ioc->pcie_device_list. that's the shelf. that's where it goes. periodt 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

1 means queue the event later ⏳ 0 means complete the event ✅

so like, 1 = "not yet bestie, come back later", 0 = "we're done here, gorgeous" 🔥
