mega_prepare_extpassthru(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Bestie, welcome to mega_prepare_extpassthru(9) from the Kernel API Manual. The original page leaves the bit after the dash blank, so the name is doing all the work — main character energy, honestly. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mega_ext_passthru * mega_prepare_extpassthru (adapter_t *adapter , scb_t
*scb , struct scsi_cmnd *cmd , int channel , int target );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• adapter — pointer to our soft state. Ours, and we're obsessed. 💖
• scb — our scsi control block. 🎀
• cmd — scsi command from the mid-layer. ✨
• channel — actual channel on the controller. 🌸
• target — actual id on the controller. 🦋

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so this one prepares a command for the scsi physical devices. This rountine — yes, that spelling is straight from the original, no cap 😭 — prepares commands for devices that can take extended CDBs (>10 bytes). That's the whole tea, and it slays. ✨
