📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 mpt3sas_base_stop_watchdog(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're fancy here — and today's main character is mpt3sas_base_stop_watchdog, a little function in the mpt3sas driver that does exactly one job and does it slayfully. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

mpt3sas_base_stop_watchdog — stop the fault_reset_work_q 🛑

Like, that's it. That's the whole vibe. It stops the fault reset work queue. No cap, no drama, just a workqueue getting told to chill. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mpt3sas_base_stop_watchdog (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc );

Look at that signature — returns void, takes one pointer. Clean, minimal, iconic. It's giving "I have nothing to prove." 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • ioc — the per adapter object 💜 — like, the one adapter whose watchdog you're putting to bed. Each adapter gets its own, iykyk.

⭐ CONTEXT ⭐

sleep.

That's the whole section. One word. The manual is literally telling you this one sleeps, so please do not call it from somewhere spicy where sleeping is illegal, bestie. 😭 Context matters fr fr.

like the manpage is not joking around here — "sleep" means it may block. respect the context. 🙈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay this is the part where the manpage goes absolutely FERAL and lists, like, every single function in ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c. grab a snack. 🍓

First up, the kernel file itself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c — the source, the mothership, the origin story 👑

and now the full squad, in order:

and yes, both _base_wait_on_iocstate(9) and _base_wait_for_iocstate(9) are in there — they're different, don't @ me 💀

🧚 and that's the whole page, bestie! go forth and stop those watchdogs responsibly 💅✨

sign-off time: this lil masterpiece lives in ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, dated October 2026, and it's mpt3sas_base_stop_watchdog(9) all day every day. byeee 🎀💖🌈
