💅 megaraid_abort_and_reset(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're fancy here ✨ — and today's main character is megaraid_abort_and_reset. The NAME section literally gives you nothing after the dash, like the manpage itself is being mysterious on purpose 💀 so no worries, the SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION are gonna do all the talking.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int megaraid_abort_and_reset (adapter_t *adapter , struct scsi_cmnd *cmd
, int aor );

that's the whole signature, no cap. three things go in, an int comes out 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the megaraid soft state, aka the adapter's whole vibe and memory situation 💖
  • cmd — the scsi command you're trying to abort or reset, the poor little thing 😭
  • aor — the abort-or-reset flag, literally the switch that says which one we're doing ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the plan, bestie: it tries to locate the scsi command in the pending queue 🔍 if it finds it, and that command has not been issued to the controller yet, it aborts/resets it, slay 💅 otherwise? it returns failure. that's it, that's the whole function, and honestly? iconic. no notes. periodt 🎀

lowkey important: the abort/reset only goes through when the command is found in the pending queue and hasn't been issued to the controller. if either of those isn't true, it's a failure return — no cap, don't forget that part 🫶

first up, the home base: Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/megaraid.c — that's where all of this lives 🏠

and now the whole friend group, all of them (9) sections, all of them exactly as written:

like, that is a long list and every single one of them ate 🔥 go read them, iykyk 💜

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓 this little page came out of ./drivers/scsi and it's dated October 2026 — go off, kernel docs, you dropped this 👑💖
