💅 ibmvscsis_create_command_q — Create Command Queue

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about ibmvscsis_create_command_q — the little function that literally builds you a command queue from scratch. yes queen, allocation era 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ibmvscsis_create_command_q — Create Command Queue

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

long ibmvscsis_create_command_q (struct scsi_info *vscsi , int num_cmds
);

like, it returns a long, takes a struct scsi_info * and an int, and yes the formatting is giving "wrapped by the manpage generator" but we respect it 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• vscsi — Pointer to our adapter structure. that's our adapter, the main character 👑
• num_cmds — Currently unused. In the future, may be used to determine the size of the CRQ. so rn it's just… vibing there 🙈 but bestie, someday it'll matter, iykyk

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what does it actually do? three things, and honestly it ate:

• Allocates memory for command queue
• maps remote memory into an ioba
• initializes the command response queue

three-step icon behavior, no cap 💅

EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT: Process level only ⭐

fr fr, process level only — don't be out here calling this from interrupt context, that's not the vibe 😭
