sci_remote_device_construct(9)

okay bestie, this is sci_remote_device_construct(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is right here near the top, and we're about to make this kernel API moment cute and clear 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

sci_remote_device_construct — common construction. That's the whole vibe: it's the common construction routine, bestie.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sci_remote_device_construct (struct isci_port *iport , struct
isci_remote_device *idev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• iport — SAS/SATA port through which this device is accessed. That's the port, bestie — the access point, periodt.
• idev — remote device to construct. This is the device we're constructing, no cap.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the tea is simple: this routine just performs benign initialization. It's giving low-stakes setup energy, not main-character allocation. It does not allocate the remote_node_context — that part is left to sci_remote_device_[de]a_construct. And when cleanup time comes, sci_remote_device_destruct frees the remote_node_context(s) for the device. Slay, but make no mistake: no remote_node_context is allocated here 💀✨
