scsi_complete_async_scans(9)

💅 scsi_complete_async_scans — wait for async scans, bestie

okay so this is scsi_complete_async_scans, straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're fancy now 👑). It's a little sync-point function and honestly it's giving "wait for your friends to finish getting ready" energy. Let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

scsi_complete_async_scans — wait for asynchronous scans to complete 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int scsi_complete_async_scans (void );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. zero. nada. not a single one. she takes nothing and she's thriving 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: by the time this function returns, any host which started scanning before this function was called will have finished its scan. periodt. those hosts? done. scanned. complete ✨

but — and this is the important part, don't skip it 😭 — hosts which started scanning after this function was called may or may not have finished. may. or. may. not. it's giving "no promises" 💀 so like, don't assume a host that jumped in late is chill, because she might still be scanning her little heart out.

ngl this is a race-y little detail so keep it in mind: the guarantee only covers scans that kicked off before the call. later ones are a total vibe check of their own 🙈
