💖 mpi3mr_repo...as_transport(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for mpi3mr_repo...as_transport(9) — yes the truncated name is giving chaos but we move 💅 it's the kernel API world, we don't question the naming, we just vibe.

---

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_report_tgtdev_to_sas_transport — the function that literally exposes your dev to the SAS TL. main character behaviour fr fr 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mpi3mr_report_tgtdev_to_sas_transport (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc ,
struct mpi3mr_tgt_dev *tgtdev );

that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mrioc — the adapter instance reference 💜
• tgtdev — the target device 🍓

both of them? iconic. both required? also yes 🙈

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does this function actually do? it exposes the target device to SAS transport — but not before doing its little prep ritual ✨ it sets up host_phy, gets the link rate sorted etc. etc., and then shows the device off to SAS TL. it's giving getting-ready-with-the-girls energy, but for phy setup 💅

host_phy prepared ✅ link rate set ✅ target device exposed ✅ — slay.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success 🫶
• non-zero for failure 😭

like every good upstanding kernel function. ground rules periodt.

cute little sign-off: this one's sourced from ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, living in the future a lil bit ⭐ bye bestie, go expose some target devices to SAS TL, iykyk 💜
