pmcraid_fai...tanding_cmds(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 pmcraid_fai...tanding_cmds(9) 🎀

okay bestie so first of all, the full name is literally too iconic for one line, that's why the title looks like that 💅 this is from the Kernel API Manual and it lives in section 9, and we're about to get so into it.

✨ NAME ✨

pmcraid_fail_outstanding_cmds — not me just straight-up failing all outstanding ops 😭 that's literally the whole gig.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pmcraid_fail_outstanding_cmds (struct pmcraid_instance *pinstance
);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pinstance — pointer to adapter instance structure. that's it. that's the whole argument list. she keeps it simple 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so what this function does is: it fails all outstanding ops, periodt. No survivors, no stragglers, everybody out of the pool 💀

But like, it's not just being mean for no reason, there's range here:

  • if the ops are already submitted to the IOA, it sends cancel all messages — but only if the IOA is still accepting IOARCBs 🙈
  • otherwise it just completes the commands and returns the cmd blocks to the free pool 🫶

so she's flexible, she reads the room, she knows when to cancel and when to just wrap it up ✨

ngl this is genuinely the most "clean up your own mess" energy I've ever seen in a kernel function and I respect it so much 👑

Return value: none. she returns vibes and nothing else 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

grab a snack bestie this list is long — this is the whole pmcraid friend group and they're all icons fr fr 🍓

and yeah, you can also find this whole situation in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c — that's where she actually lives 🏡

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 💖✨

and for the cute sign-off: this masterpiece came out of ./drivers/scsi and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's got a timestamp and she's not afraid to use it 🎀🦋 slay, go fail some outstanding ops responsibly 💅
