initio_alloc_scb(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is initio_alloc_scb(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the function is literally Allocate an SCB ✨. It's giving kernel-side SCB allocation, and we're gonna get you comfy with it fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct scsi_ctrl_blk * initio_alloc_scb (struct initio_host *host );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• host — the InitIO host we are allocating for, periodt 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: it walks the SCB list for the controller, and if a free SCB exists, it allocates it. That's the whole move — no cap, no extra steps, just walk the list and grab the free one if it's there 🫶.
