💖 iscsi_alloc_mgmt_task(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for iscsi_alloc_mgmt_task — she's the one who allocates and sets up a mgmt task, and honestly? iconic. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

iscsi_alloc_mgmt_task — allocate and setup a mgmt task.

like, she literally makes the mgmt task and gets her all set up. that's the whole gig. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct iscsi_task * iscsi_alloc_mgmt_task (struct iscsi_conn *conn ,
struct iscsi_hdr *hdr , char *data , uint32_t data_size );

not me swooning over a function signature 😭 she returns a struct iscsi_task *, periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

bestie, here's the roster — every single one of them, no skips:

  • conn — the iscsi conn that the task is gonna be sent on. basically the ride she's catching. 🚗
  • hdr — the iscsi pdu that will be sent. the actual message packet, front and center. 💌
  • data — buffer for the data segment, but only if needed. lowkey conditional queen.
  • data_size — length of data, in bytes. numbers don't lie bestie. 🔢

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the friend group — the Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/libiscsi.c crew, and they're all linked here. every. single. one. 🫶

bestie fr fr — go read these before you poke at mgmt tasks, iykyk. 💀
