💅 pcie_device_make_active — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's called pcie_device_make_active(9). It's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job, does it well" energy. Let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pcie_device_make_active — adds a pcie device to the pcie_device_list list. that's it, that's the whole personality 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pcie_device_make_active (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc , struct
_pcie_device *pcie_device );

returns void, so like… no receipt, no drama, no return value bestie 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ioc — the per adapter object. your whole adapter's main character, basically 👑
  • pcie_device — the pcie device object we're about to make active. slay ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it actually does: it adds the pcie device that has already registered with the SCSI Transport Later to the pcie_device_list list. that's the entire plot, no plot twists 🌈

like, the device did its registration arc already, and now it's getting added to the list. iconic behavior honestly 💜

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay bestie, brace yourself, this list is long — it's giving "i invited everyone i've ever met to my birthday party" 😭 but every single one matters, so here we go, no skipping, no cap:

💀 not a single warning, bug note, or exit status on this whole page — it's a void function that just adds stuff to a list. lowkey the calmest manpage in the whole kernel tree. no cap.

and that's the whole page babes 🧚 this one shipped from ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, dated October 2026, and it's filed under pcie_device_make_active(9) — go forth and make those pcie devices active, ily, bye! 💖🎀🦋
