mptsas_broa...imitive_work(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, say it with me: mptsas_broadcast_primitive_work — lowercase, underscores, the whole vibe — and its whole entire job is handling broadcast primitives. that's it, that's the gig ✨

this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, so like... kernel-adjacent, dev-only, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mptsas_broadcast_primitive_work (struct fw_event_work *fw_event );

literally takes one thing and returns void. no drama, no return value, it just does the thing 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• fw_event — a work queue payload, and inside it lives all the info describing the event. think of it as the little gossip envelope 📩 that gets handed over, and it's this function's job to open it and see what's inside.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the actual deal here: this gets handled in workqueue context 🧚

that's the whole description, bestie — it's not being shy, it's just a small function doing a very specific thing in a very specific place. workqueue context. that's where the magic happens, and that's where you'll find it. periodt 🔥

lowkey a reminder that workqueue context is not the same as wherever you might be calling from — but the page doesn't spell out more than that, so i'm not gonna invent lore for you 🙈
