💅 scsi_device_lookup_by_target(9) — the kernel API manual bestie ✨

Okay so like, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for scsi_device_lookup_by_target(9) — this is literally the glow-up version of that manpage, and we're gonna get you fluent in it, no cap. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

scsi_device_lookup_by_target — find a device given the target

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct scsi_device * scsi_device_lookup_by_target (struct scsi_target
*starget , u64 lun );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • starget — SCSI target pointer (like, the target bestie you're searching under 💖)
  • lun — SCSI Logical Unit Number (the specific LUN you want, iykyk)

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So here's the tea: this function looks up the scsi_device with the specified lun for a given starget. Super straightforward, main character energy.

But listen — the returned scsi_device has an additional reference that needs to be released with scsi_device_put once you're done with it. Don't forget this part, bestie, or you're gonna have a leak situation and nobody wants that. 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/scsi.c, plus all these iconic functions:

💀 Friendly reminder from your favorite Unix girlie: that extra reference isn't gonna release itself. scsi_device_put is your bestie. Periodt.

Written from ./drivers/scsi, dated October 2026 — that's the source and version, bestie, we don't gatekeep the metadata. Stay slay, stay referenced, and always put your devices when you're done. 💜✨
