pmcraid_init_ioadls(9)
π pmcraid_init_ioadls β the Kernel API Manual glow-up β¨
Okay bestie, so we're in the pmcraid_init_ioadls(9) page today β yes, that's the section 9 kernel API manual, the one for people writing kernel code, not the one for people who just wanna know which flag to pass. Buckle up π
β¨ NAME β¨
pmcraid_init_ioadls β literally just sets up the IOADL-related fields inside an IOARCB. That's the whole vibe check. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct pmcraid_ioadl_desc * pmcraid_init_ioadls (struct pmcraid_cmd *cmd
, int sgcount );
π ARGUMENTS π
cmdβ the pmcraid command struct. Your little command baby πsgcountβ how many scatter-gather elements we're dealing with. Count 'em, bestie π’
π« DESCRIPTION π«
So the return value hands you back a pointer of type pmcraid_ioadl_desc, and it's initialized to point at the internal or external IOADLs β whichever one it lands on. That's it, that's the function. Lowkey iconic for how much it does not do. π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
Grab a snack, because this list is long β it's the whole pmcraid friend group, no cap. Start with the kernel file itself: ./drivers/scsi/pmcraid.c π

This little masterpiece lives in ./drivers/scsi (that's the source, mwah π), and it's giving October 2026 energy for the version/date. Go forth and initialize those IOADL fields, main character π§π
