🦋 ata_scsi_dev_rescan(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ata_scsi_dev_rescan 💅 this one is short and sweet, but it’s lowkey important.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ata_scsi_dev_rescan — initiate scsi_rescan_device() ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ata_scsi_dev_rescan (struct work_struct *work );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• work — Pointer to ATA port to perform scsi_rescan_device 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here’s the tea ☕: after ATA pass thru (SAT) commands are executed successfully, libata has to propagate the changes to the SCSI layer. That’s literally the whole mission, no cap.

LOCKING: Kernel thread context (may sleep). 😴

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Kernel file: ./drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c.
