ipr_wait_iodbg_ack(9)

💅 ipr_wait_iodbg_ack — from the Kernel API Manual (section 9) 🎀

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and bestie it is such a mood. it's a tiny function with one job and like 200 friends. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

ipr_wait_iodbg_ack — literally just waits for an IODEBUG ACK from the IOA. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ipr_wait_iodbg_ack (struct ipr_ioa_cfg *ioa_cfg , int max_delay );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ioa_cfg — the ioa config struct 💖 like, the whole personality of the adapter, handed to you in a struct.
• max_delay — max delay in micro-seconds to wait. yes, micro-seconds. we are not waiting around here, this is a quick little hold-your-breath moment ⏱️

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does: it waits for an IODEBUG ACK from the IOA 😭 and the way it does that is busy looping — no sleeping, no napping, no "let me just yield for a sec", just spinning and checking. highkey icon behavior, lowkey rude to your CPU. deal with it 💅

Return value: 0 on success / other on failure 🔥

ngl, "other on failure" is the most mysterious thing ever and we respect it. it's giving you'll know when you know 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, put your phone on do-not-disturb 🍓 because this list is long long. every single one of these lives in the Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/ipr.c and they're all part of the same iconic friend group 💜
