megaraid_mbox_get_max_sg(9)

💅 megaraid_mbox_get_max_sg(9) 💅

okay bestie, buckle up — this one's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's a little baby function with one job. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

megaraid_mbox_get_max_sg — literally just tells you the maximum number of sg elements the firmware supports 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int megaraid_mbox_get_max_sg (adapter_t *adapter );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the soft state for the controller 💖 like, the controller's whole vibe, packaged up

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So the whole entire point of this function: you call it, and it finds out the maximum number of scatter-gather elements supported by the firmware. That's it. That's the function. It's giving "one job, does it well," and honestly? iconic 👑

no cap, this is the useful little helper you hit up when you need the firmware's sg-element limit before you go building anything 🧚
