ata_eh_report(9)

🎀 ata_eh_report 💅

okay so before we even start — this page is straight outta the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie. it's a kernel function page, so grab a strawberry drink 🍓 and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ata_eh_report — the one that reports error handling to the user. literally its whole job. no cap. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ata_eh_report (struct ata_port *ap );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one argument, returns void (aka nothing, it just does the thing 💫).

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ap — the ATA port we're reporting the EH about. like, this port right here, the main character 👑. it's a struct ata_port *, and yes you gotta pass it, no defaults, no shortcuts.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Report EH to user. that's genuinely the whole description, i'm not gatekeeping 😭 — this function's job is to take the error handling info and surface it to the user. lowkey iconic for how much it does with so few words.

LOCKING: None. 🫶 — like, no locking required here. zero. none. don't come for me with locks, it doesn't want them.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay bestie this is the long part and i'm not skipping a single one because every last one of these matters, fr fr. also this all lives in the kernel file ./drivers/ata/libata-eh.c 🧚
