π iscsi_send_mgmt_task β a Kernel API Manual moment
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for iscsi_send_mgmt_task(9), and trust me when I say this one is short but it matters β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
iscsi_send_mgmt_task β sends the task you already created with iscsi_alloc_mgmt_task. that's it. that's the whole vibe. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int iscsi_send_mgmt_task (struct iscsi_task *task );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
taskβ the iscsi task you wanna send, bestie. hand it over. π«Ά
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
so like, you call this to actually send off the task. and here's the part where you pay attention π β on failure this returns a non-zero error code, and then the driver must free the task with iscsi_put_task.
not me reminding you again: driver. must. free. the task. with iscsi_put_task. if you skip that, that's on you, not me ππ
periodt. that's the whole description. short and iconic, honestly. π
π SEE ALSO π
the kernel file is ./drivers/scsi/libiscsi.c β go look, iykyk π§
