mpt3sas_base_start_watchdog(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the mpt3sas_base_start_watchdog(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — manual name folded right in, no cap. This function is literally here to:

• mpt3sas_base_start_watchdog — start the fault_reset_work_q 💅

That's the whole NAME moment, and she ate. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, exactly as she appears, zero edits:

void mpt3sas_base_start_watchdog (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc );

simple, iconic, periodt. 🎀

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ioc — per adapter object. that's the whole argument, bestie — the per-adapter object, fr fr. 🫶

---

🦋 CONTEXT 🦋

context vibe check: sleep. literally the context listed is sleep, so that's the tea. 😭
