pmcraid_request_sense(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

pmcraid_request_sense — the girlies call it "send request sense to a device" 💅 this is the pmcraid_request_sense(9) page btw, kernel API manual energy only ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void pmcraid_request_sense (struct pmcraid_cmd *cmd );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cmd — the pmcraid command struct, bestie. that's the one. 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: something on the device goes check condition 😭 and this function's whole job is to send a request sense to a device as a result of that check condition. literally it's giving "ma'am, what happened, explain yourself" energy.

and the way it does it?? it re-uses the same command block that failed earlier — no fresh allocation, no new block, we're recycling the one that already flopped. sustainable queen behavior fr fr 🫶✨
