mimd_to_kioc(9)

💅 mimd_to_kioc(9) — like, the whole vibe ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the mimd_to_kioc page 🫶 this is a section 9 situation (that's Kernel API Manual, iykyk 👑), and it's literally a little converter function living its main character life in the megaraid driver. let's get into it 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mimd_to_kioc (mimd_t __user *umimd , mraid_mmadp_t *adp , uioc_t
*kioc );

no cap, that's the whole signature — three args, one int coming back at you 🌸

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• umimd — the user space old MIMD IOCTL. yes bestie, the __user is right there in the type, she's from userspace, be respectful 🙈
• adp — the adapter softstate. your adapter's whole personality basically 💅
• kioc — the kernel space new format IOCTL. this is the glow-up version, and it lives in kernel space 🦋

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so the routine's whole job is converting a MIMD interface IOCTL into a new interface IOCTL packet ✨ that's it, that's the girlboss move.

and the reason it slays is that the new packet is in kernel space, so the driver can just perform operations on it freely — no __user anxiety, no "can I touch this" energy, just full main character freedom 🔥
