📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mpi3mr_tgtdev_add_to_list (9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, gather round, because today we're learning about mpi3mr_tgtdev_add_to_list — yes that's the whole name, no we're not shortening it, and yes it's giving "function that does exactly one thing and does it flawlessly." This one lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpi3mr_tgtdev_add_to_list — Add tgtdevice to the list

Like... that's it. That's the whole job. Add the tgtdevice to the list. Iconic minimalism, honestly. 👑

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void mpi3mr_tgtdev_add_to_list (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc , struct
       mpi3mr_tgt_dev *tgtdev );

Look at her. void return. Two arguments. No drama. No cap, this is a clean signature. 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • mrioc — Adapter instance reference. This is your main character 🫶 — the adapter itself. You're handing over the whole controller's vibe so the function knows which world this target device belongs to.
  • tgtdev — Target device. The actual device getting added to the list. The guest of honor. The one getting ✨put on the list✨.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what actually happens? Add the target device to the target device list. 🔥 That's the tea. tgtdev goes on the list. The list lives with the adapter, which is why mrioc is right there in the passenger seat.

It's giving "small function, huge responsibility" because literally everything downstream needs devices to be on the list to be found. iykyk. 💀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Nothing. 🫧 Genuinely nothing. Not zero, not an error code — Nothing. She returns void and she means it. 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

First up, the file herself — the whole reason we're here:

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

And now... the extended friend group. Literally the entire mpi3mr cinematic universe. Not me listing all of them, but I am, because they're all family bestie 🌸:

Lowkey an entire graduation class. 💀🎓

Quick reminder bestie: this is a kernel-internal helper, so it's docs-page vibes, not "call this from your shell" vibes. Also — nothing here claims anything the page didn't say. That's the rule. 💅

and that's the whole page!! 🦋 mwah 💋 — this little baddie ships from ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr, dated October 2026, and her full title is mpi3mr_tgtdev_add_to_list(9) from the Kernel API Manual. periodt. ✨🎀💜
