ibmvfc_abort_task_set(9)

🎀 ibmvfc_abort_task_set(9) 🎀

okay bestie, this one is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving "small function, very specific job" energy. Let's read it together, no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ibmvfc_abort_task_set — Abort outstanding commands to the device 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ibmvfc_abort_task_set (struct scsi_device *sdev );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• sdev — the scsi device to abort commands. Like, that's the target of the whole vibe check.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this one sends an Abort Task Set to the VIOS for the specified device. That's the main character move ✨

but bestie, do not miss this: it does NOT send any cancel to the VIOS. That has to be done separately — literally separately, not magically folded into this call. 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success / other on failure. So yeah, zero is the slay outcome; anything else means it did not eat. 💀
