mpt3sas_wait_for_ioc(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

mpt3sas_wait_for_ioc</p> — bestie, this is literally where the IOC's operational state gets checked. That's the whole gig. ✨

Oh also hiiii, you're reading the Kernel API Manual page for mpt3sas_wait_for_ioc(9) — welcome, pull up a chair, we're doing kernel driver lore today. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mpt3sas_wait_for_ioc (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , int timeout );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ioc — the per adapter object, aka the main character of this whole function. It's your adapter's whole personality in one struct. 👑
  • timeout — timeout in seconds. The patience window, fr fr. How long we're willing to sit there and wait before we're like "okay bestie, I'm done." ⏳

💖 RETURN 💖

So the way this works: it waits up to timeout seconds for the IOC to become operational. That's the whole vibe check.

  • Returns 0 if the IOC is present and operational — slay, we ate, everything's fine. ✅
  • Otherwise returns -EFAULT — not slay, the IOC did not show up operational in time. 😭
No cap: it's a binary situation. 0 or -EFAULT. There is no in-between, there is no third option, periodt.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

First things first, the source file itself lives at ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_base.c — that's the kernel file, go look at it if you want the real real. 👀

And okay, this next part is a lot. Like, the whole mpt3sas friend group showed up to the party. But every single one of them is listed below, exactly as they are, no gatekeeping, no skipping, no "etc." — iykyk. 💅

Okay that's the whole page, you made it, I'm so proud of you 🥹 This little beauty lives over in ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas and this edition is dated October 2026 — and the page itself is mpt3sas_wait_for_ioc(9), in case you forgot already (no judgment, it's a lot of underscores). Bye bestie, go wait for your IOC 💜🦋
