mpt3sas_transport_port_add(9)

💅 NAME 💅

mpt3sas_transport_port_add — insert port to the list.

okay bestie, this is mpt3sas_transport_port_add(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally here to insert a port to the list. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct _sas_port * mpt3sas_transport_port_add (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER
*ioc , u16 handle , u64 sas_address , struct hba_port *hba_port );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ioc — per adapter object. that's the adapter's whole vibe, basically.
• handle — handle of attached device. yes, the attached device's handle, periodt.
• sas_address — sas address of parent expander or sas host. so either the parent expander or the sas host — that's the address.
• hba_port — hba port entry. the hba port entry, exactly.

🔒 CONTEXT 🔒

heads up, bestie: this function will acquire ioc->sas_node_lock. so yeah, it grabs that lock. not me forgetting to warn you 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Adding new port object to the sas_node->sas_port_list. that's the whole little mission — new port object goes into that list.

🎀 RETURN 🎀

it hands you back mpt3sas_port. iconic return value behavior, honestly.
