💅 qla2x00_calc_iocbs_32(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, this is a kernel API page (section 9, the kernel interface girlies 🧚) for qla2x00_calc_iocbs_32, and honestly? it's a tiny little function with main character energy and a very long friend group. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla2x00_calc_iocbs_32 — literally just here to determine the number of Command Type 2 and Continuation Type 0 IOCBs to allocate. that's the whole job. no cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint16_t qla2x00_calc_iocbs_32 (uint16_t dsds );

like yes, that's the entire signature. she's giving minimal, she's giving concise, she's giving uint16_t in and uint16_t out 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dsds — the number of data segment descriptors needed 💫 that's it, that's the whole input. hand her a count of dsds and she'll tell you how many IOCB entries you're gonna need. iconic.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So basically: returns the number of IOCB entries needed to store dsds. 🌈

That's the whole vibe check. you give her dsds, she gives you back a count of IOCBs. math girl summer. no notes. ate. 👑

lowkey a reminder that this is a return value, not a side effect — she's not touching anything, she's just doing the arithmetic and handing you the number fr fr 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the friend group is huge, buckle up bestie, we're meeting everyone 😭✨

the file itself:

like… twenty entries?? she said community. she said networking. iykyk 🌸💅

🫶 sign-off time: this page comes to you from ./drivers/scsi/qla2xxx, dated October 2026, and it's qla2x00_calc_iocbs_32(9) all the way down. stay slay, stay uint16_t, and go read the 64-bit version next, bestie 💖🎀🦋
