sas_phy_free(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ sas_phy_free ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — it's sas_phy_free(9), bestie, and it's honestly so short and so real. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

sas_phy_free — free a SAS PHY. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sas_phy_free (struct sas_phy *phy );

like, no return value, no drama, it just does the thing and dips. periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phy — the SAS PHY you wanna free. the one. the main character. hand it over and it's gone 💨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Frees the specified SAS PHY. literally that's it, that's the function. no cap. 🫶

🔥 NOTE 🔥

okay this is the important part, so listen up bestie 🙈

This function must only be called on a PHY that has not successfully been added using sas_phy_add.

like, if you already added it with sas_phy_add and it worked? do not come here. that's not this function's moment. this is a very specific lane, and we stay in it. respect the rules or the kernel will disrespect you back 😭💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole friend group, no one left out, all of them tagged with (9) because we're consistent:

and if you're wondering where all this lives — it's the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.c. note it, screenshot it, put it on your fridge 🧚‍♀️

kisses and goodbyes — this page comes to you from ./drivers/scsi, dated October 2026, and it's filed under sas_phy_free(9) forever and ever. slay 💜
