mpi3mr_bsg_verify_adapter(9)

💅 mpi3mr_bsg_verify_adapter(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, it's called mpi3mr_bsg_verify_adapter(9), and it's here to answer exactly one question — is that adapter number actually a real one or are you out here making things up 💀 let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_bsg_verify_adapter — literally just verifying that the adapter number is valid 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct mpi3mr_ioc * mpi3mr_bsg_verify_adapter (int ioc_number );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one argument, one pointer back. iconic ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ioc_number — the adapter number, aka the number you're asking the driver to vibe-check for you 🔍

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it returns the adapter instance pointer for the adapter number you handed it. like, you give it a number, it gives you the corresponding pointer. match made in heaven 💞

but here's the plot twist 😭 if the adapter number does not match anything in the driver's adapter list — if you just made a number up, bestie — the driver returns NULL. no adapter for you. no cap.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

the adapter instance reference 👑 (or NULL if the number isn't in the driver's adapter list, as established 💀)

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this one shipped from ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr back in October 2026, and it's still signed mpi3mr_bsg_verify_adapter(9) — so go verify those adapter numbers, bestie, and stay hydrated 🍓🧚💜
