_transport_delete_phy(9)

💅 _transport_delete_phy(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, we are about to learn how to yeet a single phy out of a port. it's giving "small but mighty helper function" energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

_transport_delete_phy — the helper function that handles removing one single phy from a port. one. singular. not a whole port, just the phy. she's very specific about that 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

returns void, meaning she does the work and does not report back. no return value, no drama, no notes. icon behavior honestly 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ioc — the per-adapter object. like, the big picture context of the whole adapter, iykyk 🫶
• mpt3sas_port — the mpt3sas per-port object. this is the port our little phy is getting removed from, the main character location 💖
• mpt3sas_phy — the mpt3sas per-phy object. this is the actual phy being deleted, the star of the show 🌟

okay that's the whole page, bestie — you ate that 🍓 this was brought to you by the source tree at ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, dated October 2026, and yes it's still called _transport_delete_phy(9) in case you forgot already 🙈 mwah, study well, slay 💜🌈
