💅 ata_scsiop_inq_b2 — the Kernel API Manual tea 🫶

okay bestie, so this little icon lives in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "quietly doing the most" energy. it's ata_scsiop_inq_b2, and yes, the name is a mouthful, no cap. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ata_scsiop_inq_b2 — literally Simulate INQUIRY VPD page B2, Logical Block Provisioning. that's the whole vibe. it fakes the INQUIRY page B2 so your SCSI side thinks it's getting the real deal 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unsigned int ata_scsiop_inq_b2 (struct ata_device *dev , struct
scsi_cmnd *cmd , u8 *rbuf );

three args, one unsigned int coming back at you. slay 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• dev — the Target device. like, the device we're doing all this for 👑
• cmd — the SCSI command of interest. the one we're simming for 🦋
• rbuf — the Response buffer, to which simulated SCSI cmd output is sent. it's the lil mailbox where the fake output goes 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it actually DO? it returns data for the VPD page B2h (Logical Block Provisioning). periodt. that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly ✨

LOCKING: spin_lock_irqsave(host lock) — yes bestie, the host lock, with irqsave. do not forget it, i'm begging 🙈
