scsi_check_sense(9)

💅 scsi_check_sense(9) — the Kernel API Manual page that checks the vibe of scsi cmd sense ✨

okay so bestie, this is the scsi_check_sense(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're gonna get into it together. it's giving kernel sense-check realness, and every detail is staying. no crumbs. 🫶

🌸 NAME

scsi_check_sense — examine scsi cmd sense. that's the whole name, and honestly? iconic. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS

enum scsi_disposition scsi_check_sense (struct scsi_cmnd *scmd );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• scmd — the cmd that needs its sense checked. like, "Cmd to have sense checked" energy, fr fr. it's the main character command here. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION

so the return value is one of these exact four: SUCCESS, FAILED, NEEDS_RETRY, or ADD_TO_MLQUEUE. that's the whole menu, bestie — no extra options, no guessing. ✨

🌈 NOTES

when a deferred error is detected, the current command has not been executed and needs retrying. no cap: not executed, and retrying is required. 😭🔁
