💅 _transport_add_phy(9) 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's _transport_add_phy(9) and it's literally the little helper that does the adding-a-single-phy-to-a-port thing. no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

It lives in ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_transport.c, in case you were wondering where to send the fan mail. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

_transport_add_phy — a helper function for adding a single phy to a port 🦋

like, that's it. that's the job. one phy, one port, slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void _transport_add_phy (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , struct _sas_port
*mpt3sas_port , struct _sas_phy *mpt3sas_phy );

returns void btw, so don't go looking for a return value, she gives you nothing back and that's iconic of her 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ioc — the per adapter object 💖 this is your adapter bestie, the whole squad's home base
• mpt3sas_port — the mpt3sas per port object 🌈 the port in question, the destination, the main character
• mpt3sas_phy — the mpt3sas per phy object ⭐ the actual phy being added, the guest of honor
