mpi3mr_bsg_pel_enable(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… mpi3mr_bsg_pel_enable β€” the PEL-enable handler bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function. buckle up, it's short but she's cute πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

mpi3mr_bsg_pel_enable β€” the handler for the PEL enable driver. that's literally her whole job. main character energy, no notes πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

long mpi3mr_bsg_pel_enable (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc , struct bsg_job
*job );

she takes two things and she returns a long. that's it, that's the vibe πŸ¦‹


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • mrioc β€” your adapter instance reference, aka the whole controller baddie you're talking to πŸ’œ
  • job β€” the BSG job pointer. yes, the job. she's pointing at it. respect her πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so this function is the handler for PEL enable driver β€” literally that's the whole thing, she's the handler ✨

what she does, in order, no skipping:

  1. she validates the application given class and locale β€” like a little bouncer at the door, checking IDs πŸŽ€
  2. and if it's required, she aborts the existing PEL wait request β€” bye bestie πŸ’€
  3. and/or she issues a new PEL wait request to the firmware β€” hi new bestie 🌈
  4. and then she returns 🫑

so it's giving "check the vibes, maybe clean up the old request, maybe post a fresh one, and dip" β€” and honestly? iconic 🌟


πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

  • 0 on success πŸŽ‰
  • proper error codes on failure 😭

that's the whole return situation, no cap.
