💅 qla4xxx_abort_task(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual energy, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a section 9 kernel API page, and the function is literally called qla4xxx_abort_task — it issues an Abort Task. yes. that's the whole bit. come on, let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

qla4xxx_abort_task — issues Abort Task 💅 (yes, that's genuinely what it does, no notes)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int qla4xxx_abort_task (struct scsi_qla_host *ha , struct srb *srb );

like, look at her. returning an int, taking two pointers. main character energy fr fr 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ha — Pointer to host adapter structure. that's your host adapter bestie, the big one, the icon of the operation 👑
• srb — Pointer to srb entry. the srb entry itself. hand it over, she'll take it from there 💖

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so listen — this routine performs a LUN RESET on the specified target/lun. yes i know the function is named abort_task and it's out here doing a LUN RESET, that's just the vibe, we don't question it 🙈

and like, the important part, the part where you gotta be careful: the caller must ensure that the ddb_entry and lun_entry pointers are valid before calling this routine. no cap, that's on you. this routine is NOT out here vibe-checking your pointers for you. valid pointers going in, or it's giving undefined chaos 💀

⚠️ for real though: you, the caller, are the one responsible for ddb_entry and lun_entry being valid before you call this. that's the whole caveat and it's not optional, bestie.
