mpi3mr_alloc_tgtdev(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mpi3mr_alloc_tgtdev(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel API manual, we're in the kernel today, put your hair up, this is serious business and also kind of iconic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpi3mr_alloc_tgtdev — literally the target device allocator. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct mpi3mr_tgt_dev * mpi3mr_alloc_tgtdev (void );

no cap, that's the whole signature. she takes nothing, she gives you a struct mpi3mr_tgt_dev *. main character energy fr fr 👑

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • void — no arguments. zero. none. she doesn't want your input, she's independent like that 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what does she do? she allocates a target device instance — like, an actual whole mpi3mr_tgt_dev gets conjured into existence 🔥 — and then she initializes the reference count on it. that's the deal. allocate + refcount init, together, one function, slay 💅

it's giving "I handle the boring setup so you don't have to" and honestly? obsessed.

🫶 RETURN 🫶

the target device instance. that's your new baby, go take care of it 🥺💜

okay this list is long long, but every single one is here because we don't skip, we don't summarise, we don't leave anyone out. periodt. 💀

the source lives at:

Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c

and now, the whole squad, alphabetically-unhinged as the original gave it to us:

iykyk, if you got this far you're officially a kernel girlie now 🧚‍♀️

and that's the page bestie!! 💜 this whole thing comes from ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr and it's stamped October 2026 — so go forth, allocate that target device, init that reference count, and stan responsibly 🎀✨🦋
