💅 ibmvscsi_sdev_configure(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the actual manual name, we're in the kernel section now, put your lanyard on 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ibmvscsi_sdev_configure — bestie, this one just sets the "allow_restart" flag for each disk. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ibmvscsi_sdev_configure (struct scsi_device *sdev , struct
       queue_limits *lim );

like, it takes two things and returns an int, no cap 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sdev — the struct scsi_device we're configuring, aka the device in question, the main character of this function 🎀
• lim — the request queue limits, literally the limits of the request queue, slay ✨

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea, bestie: this function enables allow_restart for a device if it is a disk 🥏 like, if it's a disk, it gets allow_restart, periodt.

and while we're here, it also adjusts the queue_depth — which is required by the documentation for struct scsi_host_template, so it's not random, it's documented behavior, iykyk 📚✨
