mptsas_issue_tm(9)

💅 mptsas_issue_tm(9) — like, the whole manual, bestie ✨

okay so you found the mptsas_issue_tm(9) page, welcome, come sit with me 🫶 this is the Kernel API Manual entry for sending an mptsas internal tm request. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mptsas_issue_tm — send mptsas internal tm request 💌 (yes that's literally it, short and iconic, we love a concise queen)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mptsas_issue_tm (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , u8 type , u8 channel , u8 id ,
u64 lun , int task_context , ulong timeout , u8 *issue_reset );

not me copying that signature exactly because you'd riot if I "cleaned it up" 😭 spacing and all, periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay bestie, eight args, we're going through every single one, no skipping, no cap 🔥

• ioc — Pointer to MPT_ADAPTER structure. it's the adapter struct, the main character of this whole story 👑
• type — Task Management type. which flavour of task management you're asking for 🌈
• channel — channel number for task management. which channel we're on, iykyk 📡
• id — Logical Target ID for reset (if appropriate). note the if appropriate — only sometimes your girl 💅
• lun — Logical unit for reset (if appropriate). same deal, only when it applies 🎯
• task_context — Context for the task to be aborted. the ✨context✨ of the task getting aborted, rip to that task 💀
• timeout — timeout for task management control. how long we're willing to wait, we are NOT waiting forever 🕐
• issue_reset — set to 1 on return if reset is needed, else 0. so it comes back telling you whether a reset is needed — 1 means yes, 0 means no, slay 💖

---

🦋 RETURN 🦋

0 on success or -1 on failure. that's it. binary queen. good vibes or the sad vibes, nothing in between 😭✨
