ibmvscsi_handle_event(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 ibmvscsi_handle_event 🌸

okay so bestie, this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel, like the big one — and today's main character is ibmvscsi_handle_event. buckle up, it's gonna be a quick one but lowkey important 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ibmvscsi_handle_event — the interrupt handler for crq events 🎀

that's it. that's the job. she handles crq events when the interrupt hits and honestly? she ate.

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

irqreturn_t ibmvscsi_handle_event (int irq , void *dev_instance );

look at her go. two args, one return type, zero drama. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • irq — the number of the irq to handle. and no, she does not use it 🙈 it's literally just there vibing in the parameter list. not every argument has a purpose bestie, some of them are just decorative (not really, don't tell the kernel devs I said that)
  • dev_instance — this one's the real deal: it's the ibmvscsi_host_data of the host that received the interrupt 🔥 so like, the actual host data. the one who got the interrupt. she's holding it. it's giving responsible.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does she actually do? two things, and she does them with main character energy:

  • disables interrupts 💀 (yes, really, that's her whole personality)
  • schedules srp_task 🌈

and then, always, every single time, no exceptions, she always returns IRQ_HANDLED. not sometimes. not "depends on the vibe". always. periodt. 👑

no cap — the return value is never in question here. IRQ_HANDLED, every time, fr fr.

oh and before I go — the source lives at ./drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi, the date on this one is October 2026, and it's ibmvscsi_handle_event(9) all the way down. mwah 💋✨ go handle those crq events, you're gonna slay. 🎀
