💅 ibmvscsis_process_mad(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes bestie, section 9, we're literally in kernel-internals territory 🧚

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibmvscsis_process_mad — Service a MAnagement Data gram 🎀

like, it handles a MAD. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

long ibmvscsis_process_mad (struct scsi_info *vscsi , struct iu_entry
*iue );

look at that signature. long return, two pointers in, one MAD serviced out. iconic behavior fr fr 🔥

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• vscsi — Pointer to our adapter structure 🫶 — literally our adapter, the one we're working with, she's the main character here
• iue — Information Unit containing the MAD request 💌 — this is the envelope, and inside the envelope? the MAD. we're servicing it

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Must be called with interrupt lock held. 🔒

that's it. that's the whole description. and honestly? it's giving short king. do not come for this function without the interrupt lock held, bestie — that's a hard requirement, not a suggestion 💀
