mpi3mr_del_p...xisting_port(9)

💅 mpi3mr_del_phy_from_an_existing_port — KERNEL API MANUAL, section 9 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, yes the kernel one, we're fancy now) ✨ and this page is about mpi3mr_del_phy_from_an_existing_port(9). quick heads up: in the header up top it gets cut off all dramatically like mpi3mr_del_p...xisting_port(9) — that's literally just the title being too long for the line, no cap, the real full name is right below 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpi3mr_del_phy_from_an_existing_port — del phy from a port 💫

like... the whole personality of this function is "remove a phy from a port that already exists." it's giving cleanup crew energy. it's giving "you don't belong here anymore, bestie." 😭

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mpi3mr_del_phy_from_an_existing_port (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc ,
struct mpi3mr_sas_node *mr_sas_node , struct mpi3mr_sas_phy *mr_sas_phy
);

that's it. three args, returns nothing, and honestly she's serving minimalism 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• mrioc — the adapter instance reference 🌈 like, which controller are we talking to. your main character adapter.
• mr_sas_node — the internal sas node object, and it's either an expander or the host itself 🧚 so like, the thing the phy is hanging out on.
• mr_sas_phy — the internal Phy object 💖 the actual phy we're evicting from the port. bye girl.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

None. 🎀

nothing. zero. void. she does the work and dips, doesn't even leave a note 🙈 (kind of iconic tbh)

so there's a kernel file to go look at if you want the whole lore:
