mpt3sas_base_get_msg_frame(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 mpt3sas_base_get_msg_frame 💖

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual (yes, section 9, the fun one) and it's genuinely such a little icon — it's the "hand me the message frame for this request" helper. short page, big main character energy. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mpt3sas_base_get_msg_frame — obtain request mf pointer

like, literally just: you give it a request id, it gives you the message frame pointer back. periodt. 💅

🩷 SYNOPSIS 🩷

void * mpt3sas_base_get_msg_frame (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , u16
smid );

that's the whole signature bestie, no cap. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ioc — the per adapter object 🦋 (think of it as the controller's whole vibe/personality in one struct)
  • smid — the system request message index (smid) — and listen, smid zero is invalid 🙈 do not come in here with a zero, it's not it

💜 RETURN 💜

a virt pointer to the message frame. that's it, that's the gift 🎁 (a virtual pointer, iykyk)

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the file this whole situation lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c

and then the entire extended friend group — every single one of these, no skipping:

ngl that's a LOT of besties but every single one of them is invited to the party, we don't do gatekeeping here 💀✨

and that's the page!! 🎀 cute little sign-off before you close the tab: this manual page lives under ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, dated October 2026, and it's mpt3sas_base_get_msg_frame(9) from the Kernel API Manual — go get that mf pointer bestie, slay 💖🌈
