✨ qla29xx_build_scsi_iocbs — it's giving kernel API manual 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is qla29xx_build_scsi_iocbs — bestie, say that five times fast, I dare you 🫶. What does it do? It builds an IOCB command, and it does it by utilizing Command Type 7 IOCB types on the 29xx extended ring. That's the whole vibe. Iconic, honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qla29xx_build_scsi_iocbs (srb_t *sp , struct cmd_type_7_ext
*cmd_pkt , uint16_t tot_dsds , struct req_que *req );

she takes four things and returns void — no return value, she just does the thing and leaves ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sp — the SRB command to process. like, the actual command we're handling, bestie, hand it over 💖
• cmd_pkt — a Command type 7 extended IOCB. this is the packet. main character energy fr fr 👑
• tot_dsds — Total number of segments to transfer. uint16_t, so keep it in range, no cap 😭
• req — pointer to request queue. the queue in question. she's pointing at it 🦋

ngl the related-pages list is longer than the actual page, and honestly? she ate 💀 not a single one skipped, we listed every last one 😤

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this little love letter to the extended ring lives in ./drivers/scsi/qla2xxx, and it's dated October 2026 — so mark your calendars, slay, periodt. 💖✨
