csio_shost_init(9)

💅 csio_shost_init(9) 💅

hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one’s all about csio_shost_init, and it’s lowkey iconic. let’s get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

csio_shost_init — create and initialize the lnode module. periodt 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct csio_lnode * csio_shost_init (struct csio_hw *hw , struct device
       *dev , bool probe , struct csio_lnode *pln );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — the HW module. that’s the hardware main character right there.
• dev — the device associated with this invocation. very “this is your moment” energy.
• probe — whether it’s called from probe context or not? yes, that’s literally the question.
• pln — parent lnode if any. parent vibes, but optional.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so csio_shost_init is doing the absolute most and honestly? slay. it allocates the lnode structure via scsi_host_alloc, initializes shost, initializes the lnode module, and registers with SCSI ML via scsi_host_add. 💅

and the best part? this function is shared between physical and virtual node ports. main character energy for both, no cap. ✨
