💅 ata_internal_cmd_timed_out — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, this one's a little libata ✨notification✨ function, and it lives in the kernel API manual. She's not doing the heavy lifting herself — she's the messenger. The way that she just tells EH "hey girl, your thing timed out" and dips? Iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ata_internal_cmd_timed_out — the notification you send when an internal command times out 🕰️💀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ata_internal_cmd_timed_out (struct ata_device *dev , u8 cmd );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — the target device 💖 the one we're talking about here
• cmd — the internal command that timed out 😭 the actual culprit

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So basically, this function notifies EH that the internal command cmd for dev timed out. That's it, that's the whole job 🫶 she's a notifier, not a problem-solver, know the difference.

⚠️ Important vibe check: only call this function for commands whose timeouts are determined using ata_internal_cmd_timeout. Not your random commands, not your cousin's commands — only those ones. no cap. 🙈

🔒 LOCKING: EH context. that's the vibe, don't fight it.
