ata_scsi_sdev_destroy(9)

okay bestie, this is ata_scsi_sdev_destroy(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “SCSI device is about to be destroyed” in the most iconic way. 💅✨

NAME ✨

ata_scsi_sdev_destroy — SCSI device is about to be destroyed. 🫶

SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ata_scsi_sdev_destroy (struct scsi_device *sdev );

ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sdev — SCSI device to be destroyed. 💀

DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so sdev is literally about to be destroyed for hot/warm unplugging. 🫶 If this unplugging was initiated by libata — as indicated by dev->sdev being NULL — this function doesn't have to do anything. no cap. Otherwise, SCSI layer initiated warm-unplug is in progress, so it clears dev->sdev, schedules the device for ATA detach, and invokes EH. 💅

LOCKING: Defined by SCSI layer. We don't really care. 😌
