initialize_event_pool(9)

✨ initialize_event_pool — NAME vibes ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the initialize_event_pool(9) page 💅 this is the Kernel API Manual entry, and honestly? it does exactly what it says on the tin: it allocates and initializes the event pool for a host 🎀 no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int initialize_event_pool (struct event_pool *pool , int size , struct ibmvscsi_host_data *hostdata );

like… that's the whole signature, she's not doing too much 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pool — the event_pool that's gonna get initialized. she's the main character here 👑
• size — the number of events in the pool. yes, it's literally just how many events fit in there 🍓
• hostdata — the ibmvscsi_host_data who owns the event pool. it's giving "pay rent or get out" energy, she owns it fr fr 🏠

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns zero on success 😌 that's it, that's the whole description — a zero is a slay, anything else is a vibe check failure 💀

lowkey that's a whole group chat of functions and every single one of them got an invite 😭 don't leave any of them on read bestie ✨

and that's the page!! 🧚 this little gem comes from ./drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi and it's dated October 2026, and yes the footer still says initialize_event_pool(9) because she's consistent 💜 bye bestie, go init some event pools, periodt 💅🎀
