mpi3mr_process_factsdata(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to mpi3mr_process_factsdata(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this lil kernel helper is lowkey giving “quietly handling endianness in the back” energy, and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_process_factsdata — Process IOC facts data. That’s the whole name, bestie: it processes facts data for the IOC. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here’s the exact signature, no edits, no vibes-based renaming:

void mpi3mr_process_factsdata (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc , struct
       mpi3_ioc_facts_data *facts_data );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • mrioc — Adapter instance reference. This is your adapter’s instance reference, aka the handle that says “yes, this IOC specifically.” 🫶
  • facts_data — Cached IOC facts data. This is the cached IOC facts data we’re working with — the receipts already sitting in the cache. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the actual job is literally this: convert IOC facts data into cpu endianness and cache it in the driver. That’s it. That’s the whole slay. It’s doing the endianness glow-up and caching the result in the driver. iykyk ✨

🌸 RETURN 🌸

Nothing. Literally void — no return value, no little treat, just nothing. 🫶
