ata_ehi_push_desc(9)

✨ ata_ehi_push_desc(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, you opened the ata_ehi_push_desc(9) page, and it’s giving tiny but important kernel helper energy. No cap, this one is all about pushing an error description with a separator, and we’re gonna keep every detail intact. 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ata_ehi_push_desc — push an error description with a separator, periodt. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ata_ehi_push_desc (struct ata_eh_info *ehi , const char *fmt , ... );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ehi — target EHI, literally the error-info thing you’re working with 🫶
• fmt — printf format string, the blueprint for the text ✨
• ... — variable arguments, the extra lil values that feed the format 🌸

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It formats the string according to fmt and appends it to ehi->desc. If ehi->desc is not empty, ", " is added in-between. That’s the whole vibe: format it, append it, add the separator when needed. 🎀

LOCKING: spin_lock_irqsave(host lock)
