β¨ ata_sas_sdev_configure β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π this one's a little function page from the kernel docs β ata_sas_sdev_configure(9) β and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "default settings, no drama." Let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
ata_sas_sdev_configure β the default sdev_configure routine for libata devices π¦
Like, the out-of-the-box behavior. The blueprint. The "we didn't customize this one, and that's on purpose" energy β¨
β SYNOPSIS β
int ata_sas_sdev_configure (struct scsi_device *sdev , struct
queue_limits *lim , struct ata_port *ap );
Three args, one int coming back at you. Simple. Clean. Iconic π
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
sdevβ the SCSI device that needs configuring, i.e. the main character of this operation πlimβ the queue limits, bestie. The limits! For the queue! πapβ the ATA port that this SCSI device is attached to β the whole reason we're all here fr fr π₯
π RETURN π
Zero.
That's it. That's the return value. Zero. She returns zero, always, and honestly? slay β¨ no confusing error codes, no edge cases to memorize, just a big fat zero π
ngl this is the most chill RETURN section I've ever read and I'm obsessed π
