ata_eh_request_sense(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, welcome to the ata_eh_request_sense(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖. This one is all about performing REQUEST_SENSE_DATA_EXT, and honestly? It's giving focused little helper energy. Periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The whole signature is literally right here, no cap:

bool ata_eh_request_sense (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• qc — the qc to perform REQUEST_SENSE_SENSE_DATA_EXT to. Yep, that exact spelling, bestie 🫶.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Perform REQUEST_SENSE_DATA_EXT after the device reported CHECK SENSE. This function is an EH helper. Slay, it has one job and it's doing it ✨.

LOCKING: Kernel thread context (may sleep). 😴

🦋 RETURN 🦋
