ioctl_done(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… ioctl_done β€” the Kernel API Manual moment πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is ioctl_done(9). Buckle up, it's a short one but it's iconic. ✨


✨ NAME ✨

ioctl_done β€” the callback from the low level driver 🫢

Like, the whole vibe is: the low-level driver calls back to say "hey, I'm done". That's it. That's the function. πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ioctl_done (uioc_t *kioc );

Look at that signature. void return, one pointer argument, no drama. Lowkey the cleanest little prototype you've ever seen. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • kioc β€” the completed ioctl packet πŸ’Œ

fr fr, that's the whole thing β€” kioc is a uioc_t * and it's the completed ioctl packet. Not a pending one, not a half-done one. Completed. She's done her job and she's serving. πŸ‘‘


πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

okay this is the part where the manpage goes full main-character and name-drops the entire megaraid friend group 😭 and you know I'm listing every single one, no cap:

the way that list just keeps going β€” it's giving "squad roll call" 🫢 every one of them gets a mention, we don't do favourites here. πŸ’–


ngl bestie, this page is short but she's perfect. Read the SEE ALSO list, meet the whole crew, and go be a callback. 🌈

that's the whole read, babe πŸŽ€ hope it ate πŸ’… β€” sourced from ./drivers/scsi/megaraid, dated October 2026, and yes, the page itself is called ioctl_done(9). mwah πŸ’‹β­
