mpt_GetScsiPortSettings(9)
π mpt_GetScsiPortSettings(9) β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie π«Ά
okay so picture this: you're deep in the fusion driver, you've got an MPT_ADAPTER in your hands, and you need the SCSI Port Page 0 and Page 2 settings. That's the whole gig. This little function is the one who reads them. Iconic behavior, honestly.
β¨ NAME β¨
mpt_GetScsiPortSettings β literally just reads SCSI Port Page 0 and Page 2. That's it. That's the function. π
π SYNOPSIS π
int mpt_GetScsiPortSettings (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , int portnum );
copy it exactly, no cap, the spacing is part of the vibe π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
iocβ pointer to a Adapter Strucutre. yes, "Strucutre". we are keeping the spelling, it's part of the lore now π it's your adapter struct, hand it over.portnumβ the IOC port number. which port bestie. tell her which port. π₯
π§ RETURN π§
okay this one is a whole saga so buckle up, I'm giving it to you exactly how the page gives it to me:
-EFAULTif read of config page header fails or if no nvram- If read of SCSI Port Page 0 fails, NVRAM =
MPT_HOST_NVRAM_INVALID(0xFFFFFFFF), Adapter settings: async, narrow, Return 1 - If read of SCSI Port Page 2 fails, Adapter settings valid, NVRAM =
MPT_HOST_NVRAM_INVALID(0xFFFFFFFF), Return 1 - Else Both valid, Return 0
and then the page literally goes CHECK - what type of locking mechanisms should be used???? and honestly? same question. the docs said what they said. π I'm not inventing an answer for you, that's above my pay grade.
