✨ sci_remote_node_table_initialize(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of sci_remote_node_table_initialize(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one is lowkey a "set it up so it actually works" situation and we're gonna get through it together, no cap 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

sci_remote_node_table_initialize — the one that gets the remote node table ready to slay

(and yes, the original NAME line just trails off after the dash, so we're keeping that mysterious main character energy ✨)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sci_remote_node_table_initialize (struct sci_remote_node_table
*remote_node_table , u32 remote_node_entries );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. a void returning function, so nothing comes back — it just does things 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • remote_node_table — the remote that which is to be initialized 🫶 (yes, "the remote that which", that's literally what the page says, and honestly? iconic. it's the pointer to the struct sci_remote_node_table we're gonna bless with initialization)
  • remote_node_entries — the number of entries to put in the table</user> — a u32, so a nice chunky unsigned 32-bit count of how many entries you want in there 🌈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This method will initialize the remote node table for use. That's the whole arc, bestie — it's the setup step 💅

none — no seriously, the original description literally says "none" at the end, so we're not gonna invent lore that isn't there. No hidden extras, no secret tricks, no "and also it does X" — that would be lying, and we don't do that here 🙈

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

Kernel file:

./drivers/scsi/isci/remote_node_table.c

and the whole friend group of related calls — every single one of them, in order, because we do not leave a bestie behind 💜

lowkey obsessed with how many of these there are. group index getters, setters, clearers, node index movers, group values, allocate single/triple/regular, release single/triple/index… it's giving full lifecycle of a remote node and honestly it ate 🔥

🍓 sign-off 🍓

this page lives in ./drivers/scsi/isci, dated October 2026, and it goes by sci_remote_n...e_initialize(9) (yes, the name is literally abbreviated in the footer with those three little dots — we respect the ellipsis, it's part of the brand 😭👑).

that's the whole page bestie, you understood it perfectly, go initialize something 💅✨🎀
