mpi3mr_expander_remove(9)

💅 mpi3mr_expander_remove(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so like, this one's a little function but she's important, and ngl the name is a whole mouthful. It's mpi3mr_expander_remove, and she does exactly what it says on the tin — she removes an expander object. Iconic, honestly.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpi3mr_expander_remove — removes an expander object, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mpi3mr_expander_remove (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc , u64 sas_address
, struct mpi3mr_hba_port *hba_port );

Like, she takes three things and returns nothing. Lowkey void, highkey slay. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• mrioc — your adapter instance reference, aka the main character of literally every one of these functions. 🫶
• sas_address — the sas_address of the expander you want gone. Removing the expander's sas_address, specifically. Bye bestie! 😭
• hba_port — the HBA port reference. She's just here for moral support, and also because the call needs her. 💖

---

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

So here's the tea, fr fr: this function removes the expander object, which is stored in mrioc->sas_expander_list. She's not just deleting her from a list and ghosting her, though — she also removes it from the SAS TL by calling mpi3mr_expander_node_remove. Not me being thorough about it 😤✨

So yeah: pulls her out of mrioc->sas_expander_list, then hits up mpi3mr_expander_node_remove to yank her out of the SAS TL too. Clean exit, no drama. 🧚

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

None — literally nothing. She gives you nothing back and that's valid. 🎀
