ENUM SCU_SSP_TASK_TYPE(9)

💅 enum scu_ssp_task_type(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little baby page, section 9 of the manual, and it's all about the enum scu_ssp_task_type.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum scu_ssp_task_type — this enumeration defines the various SSP task types the SCU hardware will accept, fr fr. the actual definition for all the various task types the SCU hardware will accept can be found in the DS specification 👑 like, that's the receipts, go read the DS spec, iykyk.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum scu_ssp_task_type {
    SCU_TASK_TYPE_IOREAD ,
    SCU_TASK_TYPE_IOWRITE ,
    SCU_TASK_TYPE_SMP_REQUEST ,
    SCU_TASK_TYPE_RESPONSE ,
    SCU_TASK_TYPE_RAW_FRAME ,
    SCU_TASK_TYPE_PRIMITIVE

};

look at her. six constants. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💖

✨ Constants ✨

so here's the thing bestie — the source literally has nothing filled in for any of these, every single one is marked -- undescribed -- 😭 so I'm not gonna sit here and make stuff up (that would be so not slay of me). here they all are, complete and in order:

• SCU_TASK_TYPE_IOREAD — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• SCU_TASK_TYPE_IOWRITE — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• SCU_TASK_TYPE_SMP_REQUEST — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• SCU_TASK_TYPE_RESPONSE — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• SCU_TASK_TYPE_RAW_FRAME — -- undescribed -- 🫶
• SCU_TASK_TYPE_PRIMITIVE — -- undescribed -- 🫶

bestie pls don't be mad at me, be mad at the documentation 💀 all six of them are undocumented in the page, that's just the facts.

💐 the cute sign-off 💐

that's the whole page, periodt 🧚 this lil doc comes from ./drivers/scsi/isci, dated October 2026, and it's the enum scu_ssp_task_type(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — she's short, she's sweet, and she's fully cited. now go read the DS specification bestie, I believe in you 💖✨🎀
