purge_requests(9)

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so bestie, real talk — this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, very demure, very mindful) and it's called purge_requests. Here's the entire vibe in one line:

purge_requests — Our virtual adapter just shut down. purge any sent requests

that's it. that's the whole pitch. no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void purge_requests (struct ibmvscsi_host_data *hostdata , int error_code );

look at her. two arguments, void return, zero drama (well, ok, some drama — see the arguments below 👀).

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hostdata — the adapter 💖 that's literally the whole description and honestly? iconic. she IS the adapter, she contains the adapter, she's the main character struct ibmvscsi_host_data.
• error_code — error code to return as the 'result' — yes those are real quotes around 'result' in the original, we don't question the lore 🫶

ngl bestie, that's the entire argument list. two things. that's the whole meal. she ate and left no crumbs 🍓
