ata_scsiop_inq_b0(9)

Okay bestie, welcome to ata_scsiop_inq_b0(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💅 This one is literally about simulating INQUIRY VPD page B0, Block Limits, and it's giving very niche-but-iconic kernel energy ✨

💖 NAME 💖

ata_scsiop_inq_b0 — Simulate INQUIRY VPD page B0, Block Limits.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unsigned int ata_scsiop_inq_b0 (struct ata_device *dev , struct
       scsi_cmnd *cmd , u8 *rbuf );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — target device. Like, the device you're checking out 👀
• cmd — SCSI command of interest. The command in question, bestie.
• rbuf — response buffer, to which simulated SCSI cmd output is sent. It's where the fake SCSI output gets dropped off 🫶

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Return data for the VPD page B0h (Block Limits). That's the whole vibe: block limits data, returned.

LOCKING: spin_lock_irqsave(host lock) — that's the locking situation, periodt. No cap.
