mpi3mr_remo..._sas_address(9)

💅 NAME 💅

mpi3mr_remove_device_by_sas_address — bestie, this one removes the device. that's the whole job. (also hiii, this is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mpi3mr_remove_device_by_sas_address (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc , u64
sas_address , struct mpi3mr_hba_port *hba_port );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• mrioc — the adapter instance reference, aka the whole entire context you're working inside 💖
• sas_address — the SAS address of the device, the actual identifier we're hunting for 🔍
• hba_port — the HBA port entry, your port-side pointer bestie 🌸

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here's the vibe: it searches for the target device using the sas address and the hba port pointer, and then — once it's found the right one, no cap — it removes it from the OS. literally that's it. find matching device, yeet it out of the OS ✨👋

it's giving "match by two things or don't match at all" energy. both the address and the port pointer are part of the lookup, iykyk.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

None. nothing comes back. it does the thing and dips 💀
