✨ _transport_..._sas_address(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're deep in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is literally about _transport_sas_node_find_by_sas_address 💅 like yes the title is longer than my attention span but we're gonna get through it together, i promise 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

_transport_sas_node_find_by_sas_address — it's a sas node search, that's the whole vibe 🔍✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct _sas_node * _transport_sas_node_find_by_sas_address (struct
MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , u64 sas_address , struct hba_port *port );

like, look at her. three args, one pointer back. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ioc — the per adapter object, aka your whole adapter situation 🧚
• sas_address — the sas address of the expander or sas host, yes that's the thing you're hunting for 💖
• port — the hba port entry, she's just here to be a port 🎀

---

⭐ CONTEXT ⭐

the calling function should acquire ioc->sas_node_lock 🔒 no cap, this is not optional, handle your locking before you come through here bestie 😭

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? she searches for either the hba phys or the expander device based on the handle, and then returns the sas_node object 🦋✨ that's it, that's the whole plot, and honestly? iconic. she finds. she returns. periodt 💅
