copy it exactly, bestie, we don't freestyle signatures around here 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vscsi — Pointer to our adapter structure. yes, ours. she's our adapter. we claim her 💖
  • crq — Pointer to CRQ entry containing the Transport Event. the CRQ is carrying the event, it's giving delivery girl energy 📦✨

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does she actually do? she does the logic to close the I_T nexus. that's the mission. that's the whole vibe. 🔥

but ngl, there's a little disclaimer and you need to hear it:

This function may not behave to specification. 😭💀 not me telling you the function is lowkey unpredictable, but like — that's what the page says, so I'm saying it too. no cap.

EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT: Interrupt, interrupt lock held. 🔒⚡ so like, you're in interrupt context and the interrupt lock is already held — do not go doing sleepy little blocking things in here, she's booked and busy.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi_tgt/ibmvscsi_tgt.c — the source file, go read her, she ate 💅

and now, the whole friend group, in order, no one left out:
