mega_init_scb(9)

💅 mega_init_scb(9) 💅

okay so this is mega_init_scb(9) from the Kernel API Manual, section 9. It’s short, it’s specific, and it’s lowkey doing important pointer setup. 🫶

💅 NAME 💅

mega_init_scb — that’s it. The source has mega_init_scb - with no description after the dash, and I’m not making one up. Mysterious? A little. Iconic? Obviously. Slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mega_init_scb (adapter_t *adapter );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — pointer to our soft state. That’s the whole argument, bestie, and it’s carrying the entire vibe. ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Okay so the whole job is allocation. mega_init_scb allocates memory for the various pointers in the scb structures. Specifically:

• the scatter-gather list pointer
• the passthru structure pointers
• the extended passthru structure pointers

That’s the description, periodt. No cap. It’s giving “set up the pointers,” and we respect the efficiency. Not me getting emotional over pointer allocation 😭💅
