ipr_dump_location_data(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ipr_dump_location_data(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page bestie 🎀

okay so. welcome to the group chat, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual about a little function called ipr_dump_location_data(9), and honestly? she's doing one job and one job only, and she does it. come sit with me 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ipr_dump_location_data — fills in the IOA location in the dump. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ipr_dump_location_data (struct ipr_ioa_cfg *ioa_cfg , struct
ipr_driver_dump *driver_dump );

look at her. no return type worth stressing about, two structs, one dream. no cap. 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

it takes two args, and they're both structs, so let's do a lil vibe check on each:

  • ioa_cfg — the ioa config struct. that's the one, the icon, the main character. 👑
  • driver_dump — the driver dump struct. this is where the dump stuff lives. 🍓

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

bestie it's so simple it's almost iconic. the return value is nothing. literally nothing. void behavior, no data coming back, not even a little. the function fills in the IOA location in the dump, and then it just... doesn't bother telling you anything about it. and honestly? respect. 💅

no return value means no return value — don't go looking for one, she didn't leave you one 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where the page goes absolutely feral — grab a snack, this list is long long. the kernel file is ./drivers/scsi/ipr.c and then:

like. she really said "here's every friend i have" and listed all of them. iykyk 😭💀

and that's the whole page, bestie. elle est finie. ✨

sign-off time 🫶 — this one's living in ./drivers/scsi and it's dated October 2026, and again the manual is the Kernel API Manual and the page is ipr_dump_location_data(9). mwah. 💜
