mpt_detect_bound_ports(9)

mpt_detect_bound_ports(9) 💅

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about mpt_detect_bound_ports — a little kernel matchmaker that goes looking for PCI buddies. 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

mpt_detect_bound_ports — search for matching PCI bus/dev_function. 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mpt_detect_bound_ports (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , struct pci_dev *pdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ioc — a pointer to the MPT_ADAPTER structure. That's the adapter bestie in question. 💖
• pdev — a pointer to a (struct pci_dev) structure. Yes, the parentheses are part of the original vibe. 🙈

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what's the move? It searches for a PCI bus/dev_function that matches PCI bus/dev_function (+/-1) for newly discovered 929, 929X, 1030, or 1035. 🔍 No cap, that's the whole quest.

If it finds a match on PCI dev_function +/-1, it binds the two MPT adapters using the alt_ioc pointer fields in their MPT_ADAPTER structures. Two adapters, one little pointer handshake — cute. 🫱🫲
