ata_sff_postreset(9)

🦋 ata_sff_postreset(9) — Kernel API Manual 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ata_sff_postreset — SFF postreset callback, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ata_sff_postreset (struct ata_link *link , unsigned int *classes );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• link — the target SFF ata_link, aka the link bestie is working on.
• classes — classes of attached devices. Literally the class info for whatever is attached.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this function is invoked after a successful reset. First it calls ata_std_postreset, then it does the SFF specific postreset processing. It's giving “cleanup committee after the reset party” energy.

LOCKING: Kernel thread context (may sleep) — yes, it's allowed to catch a lil nap 😴.
