β¨ beiscsi_find_mem_req β¨
okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about a function called beiscsi_find_mem_req β say that five times fast, i literally can't π. It's a kernel-API function, so it lives in that driver-world where memory gets counted before anything fun happens. No cap, it's short and sweet, so let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
beiscsi_find_mem_req β find mem needed. That's it, that's the whole vibe: it figures out the memory that's needed β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
void beiscsi_find_mem_req (struct beiscsi_hba *phba );
literally returns void, so it hands nothing back β it just does The Thing π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
phbaβ ptr to HBA struct. yep, a pointer to the HBA struct, that's the whole entrance requirement π
π SEE ALSO π
so the kernel file it lives in is ./drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_main.c, and here's the whole friend group it runs with β all of them are section-9 (kernel API) pages, iykyk:

bestie this page is tiny β no options, no env vars, no exit statuses, no bug notes, no warnings. just the one function, the one arg, and the crew of cross-references. don't go looking for more, it's not there π
and that's the whole page, periodt π§ββοΈ this cutie came from ./drivers/scsi/be2iscsi, dated October 2026, and the manual itself is the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go read the source, ily ππ
