💅 megasas_wait_for_outstanding(9)

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one very specific little function that has one very specific job: waiting. patiently. for the firmware to finish literally everything. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

megasas_wait_for_outstanding — the "wait for all outstanding cmds" girlie 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int megasas_wait_for_outstanding (struct megasas_instance *instance );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • instance — the adapter soft state, i.e. the main character of this whole saga 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the vibe: this function sits there and waits for up to MEGASAS_RESET_WAIT_TIME seconds to give the FW a chance to complete all its outstanding commands. that's it. that's the whole job. she's just waiting, bestie 😭

and if, after that whole time period, one or more IOs are still pending? she returns an error. rude of them, honestly. 💀

oh and also — she marks the controller dead. like, full on. not me ending a whole controller's career 😭👑

fr fr: error return + controller marked dead = this is not a drill, something went wrong upstream of you

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file that started it all: ./drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c

and now, the extended universe. every single one of these cuties, periodt:

okay that's the whole page, you ate that bestie 🫶 this one lives under ./drivers/scsi/megaraid and it's dated October 2026 — go forth and wait for your outstanding cmds responsibly ✨💜
