ibmvscsis_parse_cmd(9)

💅 ibmvscsis_parse_cmd(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie

okay so welcome to the ibmvscsis_parse_cmd glow-up, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the one that does the SRP Command parsing thing and honestly it's kind of a big deal, so let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibmvscsis_parse_cmd — Parse SRP Command 💫

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ibmvscsis_parse_cmd (struct scsi_info *vscsi , struct ibmvscsis_cmd
*cmd );

ok so it returns void, meaning it gives you nothing back, no tea, no receipts, just vibes and side effects 💀 keep that in mind.

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vscsi — pointer to our adapter structure 💖 that's our home base, our main character struct.
• cmd — pointer to the command element that's holding the SRP command 🦋 this is the actual thing we're about to look at.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So the whole job is: parse the srp command, and if it's valid, then submit it to tcm. That's it. That's the function. Valid check → hand it off to tcm → slay 👑

no cap, the "if it is valid" part is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. it's a conditional, bestie, not a promise.

---

💅 NOTE 💅

The return code does not reflect the status of the SCSI CDB. 🚨 like, genuinely do not read it that way, that is not what it means, iykyk. (Also it returns void up in the synopsis, so… yeah. literally nothing to read. 💀)

EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT: Process level 🌈
