initio_build_scb(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

initio_build_scb — Build the mappings and SCB

Hiii bestie! 💖 This is the initio_build_scb(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about building the mappings and the SCB. Slay. ✨

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void initio_build_scb (struct initio_host * host , struct scsi_ctrl_blk
       * cblk , struct scsi_cmnd * cmnd );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• host — the InitIO host taking the command. She's the one receiving the vibe. 🫶
• cblk — the firmware command block. This is the glow-up target, no cap.
• cmnd — the SCSI midlayer command block. The midlayer's command situation, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so what's the tea? This function translates the abstract SCSI command into a firmware command block that's suitable for feeding to the InitIO host controller. Literally turning the abstract command into the firmware-friendly one. Iconic. 💅

It also requires we build the scatter gather lists and make sure they are mapped properly — yes bestie, the mappings and the SCB are the whole point, fr fr. ✨
