πŸ’… mptsas_exp_repmanufacture_info(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€ β€” yes this is literally a real kernel function page and yes we're gonna read it together, it's giving group-project energy but make it cute 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

mptsas_exp_repmanufacture_info β€” sets expander manufacturer info πŸ’«

like, it goes and fills in the manufacturer info for an expander. that's the whole vibe. no cap.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mptsas_exp_repmanufacture_info (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , u64 sas_address ,
       struct sas_expander_device *edev );

so it takes three things and gives you back an int, slay πŸ”₯ (the exact spacing is a whole aesthetic, we keep it, periodt πŸ’…)


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • ioc β€” the per adapter object πŸ’œ (your adapter's little main-character object, iykyk)
  • sas_address β€” the expander sas address 🌈 (it's a u64, so it's a big ol' number fr fr)
  • edev β€” the sas_expander_device object 🌸 (the expander device thingy we're messing with)

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

sooo here's the tea β˜• β€” for an edge expander or a fanout expander, this function fills in the sas_expander_device object when the SMP port is created ✨

that's it, that's the whole job. it shows up, does the filling-in, and leaves πŸ‘‘

ngl it's a very "supporting character" function but every main plot needs one πŸ’–

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 for success πŸŽ‰
  • non-zero for failure 😭

(no dramatic caveats here bestie, it just tells you if it worked or not πŸ™ˆ)


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the kernel file it lives in β€” literally right here 🫢:

and now the entire friend group, no one left out, we don't do that here πŸ’…:


and that's the page!! πŸŽ€ source? ./drivers/message/fusion, dated October 2026 ⭐ β€” a little kernel lore drop from the future, iconic honestly πŸ‘‘βœ¨πŸ’–
