ibmvscsi_send_srp_event(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the ibmvscsi_send_srp_event(9) manual page, straight outta the Kernel API Manual — and bestie, we are keeping every single detail today, no cap, because this kernel function is lowkey important and the vibe check is immaculate 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

The main character energy: ibmvscsi_send_srp_event transforms event to a u64 array and calls send_crq(). That's it, that's the name-drop, and honestly? slay. 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

Here's the signature, copy it exactly — no autocorrect, no vibes-based renaming 🙈:

enum scsi_qc_status ibmvscsi_send_srp_event (struct srp_event_struct
     *evt_struct , struct ibmvscsi_host_data *hostdata , unsigned long
     timeout );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Three besties walk into this function, and they are:

• evt_struct — the evt_struct to be sent. Yes, that exact one. 💌
• hostdata — the ibmvscsi_host_data of host. host data, but make it fashion. 👑
• timeout — timeout in seconds; 0 means do not time command. zero = no timer, periodt. ⏰

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so the tea: this returns the value returned from ibmvscsi_send_crq. Zero for success — that's the happy path, bestie, the green check, the slay. 🫶

Also, just so we're clear, it's the function that transforms event to a u64 array and calls send_crq() — that's literally the NAME section, but make it a vibe. 😌

🚨 Caveat, and it's a big one: this routine assumes that host_lock is held for synchronization. The way that it assumes this is lowkey giving "trust me bro" — so respect the lock, periodt. 💀
