_scsih_setup_eedp(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ _scsih_setup_eedp ✨

okay bestie, buckle up, because this one's a kernel API manual page — from the Kernel API Manual section, section 9, the whole "kernel internals" vibe 💅 — and it's short but it's important. It's _scsih_setup_eedp, and it's giving "quiet little helper that does one very specific job extremely well." main character energy fr fr 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

_scsih_setup_eedp — setting up an MPI request for an EEDP transfer, no cap, that's literally what it does 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void _scsih_setup_eedp (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , struct scsi_cmnd
*scmd , Mpi25SCSIIORequest_t *mpi_request );

like… that's the whole signature. it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, it simply does not have one, periodt ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ioc — the per adapter object 🫶 this is your adapter, your whole little hardware situation, she's the context for everything
  • scmd — a pointer to the scsi command object 🌸 the actual command that's like "hey, do the thing"
  • mpi_request — a pointer to the SCSI_IO request message frame 💌 this is the message frame itself, the thing getting set up

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Supporting protection 1 and 3. 😭 that's it. that's the description. she's a woman of few words and honestly? iconic.

so yeah — this function is out here supporting protection 1 and protection 3, which is EEDP business (it's literally in the name, iykyk 👑). if you came here looking for paragraphs of lore, she said no 💀 but the job gets done and that's what matters.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay so this part is a lot — the Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c is basically the mothership, and she has so many friends. like an entire extended family. here's every single one, in order, no skips, no "etc." because we don't do that here 🙈:

like I said. a lot. but we got through it together 🫶💖

okay and finally, the receipts 🧾 — this whole thing lives in ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, and it's dated October 2026. so yeah, future-flavored documentation, we love to see it ⭐ bye bestie, go set up some EEDP requests 💅✨
