ata_port_abort(9)

💅 ata_port_abort(9) — like, the kernel API manual page, bestie 🎀

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the manpage collection, not the vibes collection) and it's about ata_port_abort — the function that just, like, ends things. gracefully. sort of. 💀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ata_port_abort — abort all qc's on the port

like literally all of them. every last one. periodt. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ata_port_abort (struct ata_port *ap );

that's it. that's the whole call. one argument, one int back. iconic minimalism honestly 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ap — the ATA port to abort qc's for 💖 like, this is the port we're doing the aborting on, no cap.

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Abort all active qc's of ap and schedule EH.

read that again bestie: all active qc's. not some. not the ones you vibe with. all of them 🔥 and then it schedules EH to come in and clean up the situation.

LOCKING: spin_lock_irqsave(host_set lock) — so this one's already holding the host_set lock with spin_lock_irqsave when it does its thing. don't go grabbing that lock yourself, that's giving chaos energy 🙈

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Number of aborted qc's. that's it — the count of how many qc's it actually aborted, as an int. so you can, like, know how much damage you did 💅
