ENUM DEVICE_RESPONSIVE_STATE(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME

enum device_responsive_state — the responsive state enum, bestie. It's basically the mood ring for a device: six possible vibes a device can be in. That's the whole tea. 🫖

Wait, first — hi, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're doing it group-chat style because that's how brains work now. Let's go. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS

enum device_responsive_state {
    DEVICE_READY ,
    DEVICE_RETRY ,
    DEVICE_RETRY_UA ,
    DEVICE_START_UNIT ,
    DEVICE_STOP_UNIT ,
    DEVICE_ERROR

};

Like, that's the entire enum. Six constants, zero drama (well, DEVICE_ERROR is a little drama). 🦋

🧚 CONSTANTS

Okay so this is the part where each member gets its little moment. Every single one, no skipping, that's the rule:

  • DEVICE_READY — the device is ready to be added. It's giving main character energy, it's prepared, it showed up on time. 💖
  • DEVICE_RETRY — the device can be retried later. Not a no, just a "not rn." 🙈
  • DEVICE_RETRY_UA — retry unit attentions. Yeah. That's the description. Unit attentions, retried. 🔥
  • DEVICE_START_UNIT — requires start unit. It needs the start-unit treatment before anything happens. ✨
  • DEVICE_STOP_UNIT — requires stop unit. Opposite vibes, same energy. 🛑
  • DEVICE_ERROR — the device reported some fatal error. Fatal. F. Not the cute kind of fatal, the fatal kind. 😭
Six members, six moods, no more, no less. If you were hoping for a seventh, this enum is not the enum for you, bestie.

🔥 SEE ALSO

So. Um. This section is long long. Like, someone said "let's cross-reference the entire known universe" and everyone nodded. But I promised to keep every detail, so here is every single one, in the exact order they appear, no cap. 🫶

Starting with the file itself: Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c

Then the whole squad, one per bullet, because we do not skip and we do not merge:

That's all of them. I counted. Twice. My eyes are fine. Everything's fine. 😭✨

🎀 SIGN-OFF

And that's the whole page, bestie! This one lives under ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, and the version/date on the tin is October 2026 — so yes, this manual is from the future and it still only has six enum members. Some things never change. 💜

Slay, go read your SCSI code. 👑🦋
