mpi3mr_refresh_tgtdevs(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

mpi3mr_refresh_tgtdevs — the kernel manual page (yep, the Kernel API Manual one, hi bestie 🫶) all about refreshing target device exposure ✨

okay so picture this: it's a refresh. of target devices. of the exposure kind. iconic behaviour, no notes 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mpi3mr_refresh_tgtdevs (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc );

literally one argument. we love a low-maintenance function 💜

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • mrioc — your adapter instance reference, bestie 🎀 that's the whole thing. she's the adapter, you hand her over, that's it.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this one runs post controller reset 🔥 like, right after the controller gets its little reset moment. and what's she doing? a full vibe check on the device roster, basically 💅

specifically she's doing two things:

  • identifying any missing devices during the reset — and then removing them from the upper layers 🙈 like, sorry babe, you're not on the list anymore
  • exposing any newly detected device to the upper layers 👑 new arrivals get announced, main character energy only

so: reset happens → she looks around → ghost devices get yeeted from the upper layers, new devices get introduced to the upper layers. that's the whole personality 💖

ngl it's giving "attendance check after the fire alarm" and honestly? obsessed 🎀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Nothing. fr fr, nothing at all 💀 she returns void, she's not here to give you a value, she's here to do the work and leave. periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the extended friend group, and I'm listing every single one because I would never do them dirty like that 💜 first up, the file itself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c 🦋

and now the whole crew, in order:

like I said. huge friend group. every single one invited to the party 🎀💜

and that's the page, bestie 🫶 this little drop of lore lives in ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future, we don't question it 💅✨ mwah, go read some kernel source 💖
