megasas_mgmt_fw_ioctl(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ megasas_mgmt_fw_ioctl 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — no cap, this one's a little function with a big job. Pull up a chair, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

megasas_mgmt_fw_ioctl — literally the function that issues management ioctls to FW 🔥 (yes, that's firmware, main character energy fr fr)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int megasas_mgmt_fw_ioctl (struct megasas_instance *instance , struct
megasas_iocpacket __user * user_ioc , struct megasas_iocpacket *ioc );

it returns an int, she takes three args, and that's the whole vibe check ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • instance — the adapter soft state 🫶 like, the controller's whole personality in a struct.
  • user_ioc — the user's ioctl packet 👀 it's __user, so it's coming straight from userspace, handle with care bestie.
  • ioc — the ioctl packet itself 💌 the actual package being passed around.
ngl that's a short argument list, but that's because the SEE ALSO below is doing all the heavy lifting. not me gatekeeping, it's just... a lot. 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

bestie. buckle in. the kernel file living its truth here is ./drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c 🌈 and then there's the friend group of 94 functions (all section 9, all iconic):

like, that's the whole megaraid_sas extended universe 😭 the xscale girlies, the ppc girlies, the skinny girlies, the gen2 girlies — everyone showed up to the party 🧚💜

and that's the page!! 🫶 this one came from the kernel source tree living at ./drivers/scsi/megaraid, and it's stamped October 2026 ⭐ so if you're reading this from the future, hi, hope the firmware's behaving 💀💖 slay, bye!! 👑🌸
