iscsi_complete_task(9)
π iscsi_complete_task(9) β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie
Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got an iSCSI task that's just out here living its life, and it's done. Finished. Wrapped. Time to close the tab. That's this function. It's the "you're so done, girl" of the SCSI/libiscsi world, and yes, the Kernel API Manual is where it lives, so let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
iscsi_complete_task β finish a task. Like, actually finish it. Wrap it up. Send it off with a little kiss π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void iscsi_complete_task (struct iscsi_task *task , int state );
π ARGUMENTS π
taskβ the iscsi cmd task in question. The main character of this whole operation, honestly πstateβ the state you're completing the task with. You pick it, you pass it, it's basically the vibe you're sending this task off in β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Must be called with session back_lock. Not "should". Not "if you feel like it". MUST. No cap. If you skip the lock, that's not a vibe check, that's a straight-up situation π
That's genuinely it β the whole description. Lock held, task completed, moving on. Iconic minimalism, honestly π
π SEE ALSO π
The kernel file to go peep is ./drivers/scsi/libiscsi.c, and it's giving family reunion, because here's the whole crew:

This little love letter lives over in ./drivers/scsi, dated October 2026, and it's iscsi_complete_task(9) saying bye for now. Go hold that session back_lock for me, mwah πππ¦
