💅 qla2x00_prep_ct_fdmi_req(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a little one. a short king. but we're gonna give it the full main character treatment anyway 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qla2x00_prep_ct_fdmi_req — bestie, this one gets the common CT request fields all set up and ready for the SNS query 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ct_sns_req * qla2x00_prep_ct_fdmi_req (struct ct_sns_pkt *p ,
       uint16_t cmd , uint16_t rsp_size );

like, it hands you back a struct ct_sns_req * and it takes three things. that's the whole vibe check ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • p — the CT request buffer. this is where the magic happens, it's the canvas 💖
  • cmd — the GS command. literally the instruction, iykyk 🌈
  • rsp_size — response size in bytes. yes it's bytes, we're counting them, we're being precise about it ⭐

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea ☕: it returns a pointer to the initialized ct_req. that's it. that's the whole function. it preps the thing, you get the pointer, everybody slays 💅

no cap, sometimes the little functions are the ones holding the entire operation together 🔥

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_gs.c — go say hi to it, it's iconic 🧚

and here's the whole friend group, alphabet-adjacent chaos and all:

ngl bestie, if you're here you're probably already deep in the qla2xxx trenches. proud of you. drink some water 💜

and that's the page!! shoutout to ./drivers/scsi/qla2xxx for bringing us together, dated October 2026 — see you in the next release, mwah 😭💖
