ibmvscsis_parse_command(9)

💅 ibmvscsis_parse_command(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ibmvscsis_parse_command ✨ this one's from the ./drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi_tgt girlies and it's lowkey iconic.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibmvscsis_parse_command — parses an element that got pulled out of the cmd rsp queue 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

long ibmvscsis_parse_command (struct scsi_info *vscsi , struct
       viosrp_crq *crq );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• vscsi — pointer to our adapter structure 🫶 like, the main character struct, ours.
• crq — pointer to the CRQ element that's holding the SRP request 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works: this function returns success if the command queue element is valid and the srp iu or MAD request it pointed at was also valid ✨ and no, bestie, that does not mean no error got sent back to the client 😭 it literally doesn't. success here is about the parsing being chill, not about the client having a good day. iykyk.

EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT: Interrupt, intr lock held 🔒 no cap, keep that in mind.
