mpi3mr_alloc_fwevt(9)

💖 mpi3mr_alloc_fwevt(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual — this one's page is mpi3mr_alloc_fwevt(9), and it's literally the friend who shows up with the snacks (the snacks being memory). Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_alloc_fwevt — allocate firmware event 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct mpi3mr_fwevt * mpi3mr_alloc_fwevt (int len );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• len — the length of firmware event data you wanna allocate. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's lowkey simple and we love her for it 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she does: she allocates a firmware event with the required length, and then she initializes the reference counter. that's the vibe. allocate + initialize the refcount, and she's done. no cap, it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the firmware event reference. like, the actual pointer to your brand-new firmware event. slay 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the kernel file this whole thing lives in: ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c — go say hi 👋

bestie this is a kernel function — read the list, don't skip it, the details are the moment 💀

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 this beauty ships out of ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual. go be iconic with your firmware events 👑✨🌸
