💅 megasas_build_dcdb(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to megasas_build_dcdb(9), a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a little function with one job and she does it. no notes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

megasas_build_dcdb — prepares a direct cdb (DCDB) command 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int megasas_build_dcdb (struct megasas_instance *instance , struct
scsi_cmnd *scp , struct megasas_cmd *cmd );

like yes that's the whole signature, no cap, three args, returns an int, that's her 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • instance — the adapter soft state, aka where the megasas instance lives. your main character struct fr 💖
  • scp — the SCSI command. the actual vibe check of what we're doing here. 🌸
  • cmd — the command that's gonna be prepared in. she's the blank canvas, we're about to fill her in. ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so real talk: this function prepares CDB commands. and like… these are typically pass-through commands to the devices. that's it. that's the whole lore. 🫶

think of it as the little setup moment before the command goes out into the world — she's doing the prep work so the CDB command is ready to slay 🔥
