mpi3mr_allo...y_sense_bufs(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

Okay bestie, gather round — this is the manual page for mpi3mr_alloc_reply_sense_bufs in the Kernel API Manual, and the official one-liner is literally "Send IOC Init". Yes, that's what it says. We're not gonna question it, we're just gonna report it, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mpi3mr_alloc_reply_sense_bufs (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc );

That's the whole vibe — one function, one pointer, no drama.

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • mrioc — the Adapter instance reference. Think of it as the main character of this whole story 💖 — it's the handle to the controller you're doing stuff to.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, this function allocates and initializes the reply free buffers, the sense buffers, the reply free queue, and the sense buffer queue. All of them. The whole lil family 🎀

That's genuinely it — no hidden lore, no extra behaviour, no secret side quests. It sets the reply/sense machinery up so the rest of the driver can actually use it, iykyk.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 on success — slay, we're so back 👑
  • non-zero on failures — not slay, something went sideways 😭
