ata_force_quirks(9)

💅 ata_force_quirks(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this page is straight from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s all about ata_force_quirks(9) — yes, the name is a mouthful, but we’re gonna slay it. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ata_force_quirks — force quirks according to libata.force. that’s the whole vibe, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ata_force_quirks (struct ata_device *dev );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dev — the ATA device of interest. that’s the one we’re looking at, bestie. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this function forces quirks according to libata.force and then literally whines about it. not me acting surprised — the whining is part of the package. 😭

for consistency with link selection, device number 15 selects the first device connected to the host link. yes, 15 is the special one in this context; iykyk. ✨

LOCKING: EH context. that’s the locking tea, periodt. 🔒
