mpi3mr_qcmd(9)

💅 mpi3mr_qcmd(9)

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — yes this is the kernel docs for the mpi3mr driver, and yes we're gonna make it make sense. Grab a boba, this one's literally one function 🫶

---

🌸 NAME

mpi3mr_qcmd — the I/O request despatcher ✨ (she takes your I/O and sends it on its way, no cap)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS

enum scsi_qc_status mpi3mr_qcmd (struct Scsi_Host *shost , struct scsi_cmnd *scmd );

---

💜 ARGUMENTS

• shost — a SCSI Host reference 👑 (your SCSI Host handle, the big-picture one)
• scmd — a SCSI Command reference 🦋 (the actual command you're trying to get out the door)

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION

So basically this is where the SCSI Command gets issued as an MPI3 request — like, that's her whole job. She takes the scmd, bundles it into an MPI3 request, and ships it. It's giving main character energy at the queue layer 💅

---

🔥 RETURN

• 0 — iconic behavior: the request queued successfully 💖 OR the request was completed with failure (yes, both of those get 0, that's just how she is, don't @ me)
• SCSI_MLQUEUE_DEVICE_BUSY — the device is busy 😭 try again later bestie
• SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY — the host queue is full 💀 extremely full. no room. come back.

Also the kernel file lives here: ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c — go look at her source, she's gorgeous 🧚
