💖 lpfc_scsi_prep_dma_buf_s3(9) 💖 — Kernel API Manual

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for lpfc_scsi_prep_dma_buf_s3(9), and it’s giving “low-level SCSI DMA mapping but make it cute.” let’s get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_scsi_prep_dma_buf_s3 — DMA mapping for scsi buffer to SLI3 IF spec

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lpfc_scsi_prep_dma_buf_s3 (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct
       lpfc_io_buf *lpfc_cmd );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — The Hba for which this call is being executed.
• lpfc_cmd — The scsi buffer which is going to be mapped.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This routine does the pci dma mapping for the scatter-gather list of the scsi cmnd field of lpfc_cmd for a device with the SLI-3 interface spec. It scans through sg elements and format the bde. This routine also initializes all IOCB fields which are dependent on scsi command request buffer.

Return codes, bestie:

• 1 — Error
• 0 — Success
