iscsi_unblock_session(9)
β¨ iscsi_unblock_session β the "you're SO back" moment for a session β¨
okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the function is iscsi_unblock_session(9). It's literally the glow-up arc: a session that was blocked gets its main character moment and starts doing IO again π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void iscsi_unblock_session (struct iscsi_cls_session *session );
π ARGUMENTS π
sessionβ the iscsi session in question π¦ (yes, that's the whole arg, she's low maintenance)
π DESCRIPTION π
So what does it actually do? Mark a session as ready to accept IO. That's it. That's the whole vibe π«
Like β you flip the session back into "yes queen, take the IO" mode. No cap.
ngl the manpage is short here, so I'm not gonna invent lore: it marks the session as ready to accept IO, periodt π₯
