asd_init_escbs(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat. today’s main character is asd_init_escbs(9) — yes, it’s giving kernel-space allocation realness, and we’re gonna read it together, no cap. ✨

NAME 🎀

• asd_init_escbs - - allocate and initialize empty scbs

SYNOPSIS 🦋

int asd_init_escbs (struct asd_ha_struct *asd_ha );

ARGUMENTS 🌸

• asd_ha — pointer to host adapter structure. that’s the one thing you pass in, bestie. (struct asd_ha_struct * if we’re being fancy.)

DESCRIPTION 💅

so an empty SCB has sg_elements of ASD_EDBS_PER_SCB (7) buffers. they transport sense data, etc. that’s literally the whole vibe: allocate and initialize empty scbs, and those buffers do their little transport thing. no extra lore on this page, okay? 😭
