scsi_get_device_flags(9)

💅 scsi_get_device_flags — NAME

ok so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's scsi_get_device_flags — it's the function that gets you the device specific flags from the dynamic device list. yep, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

blist_flags_t scsi_get_device_flags (struct scsi_device *sdev , const
       unsigned char *vendor , const unsigned char *model );

like, three args in, a blist_flags_t out. slay. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sdev — the scsi_device you want flags for. that's your main character right there 👑
• vendor — the vendor name 🏷️
• model — the model name 🏷️

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's what happens, no cap: it goes searching through the global scsi_dev_info_list (the one specified by list zero, iykyk) looking for an entry that matches your vendor and model. 🔍

if it finds one? it returns the matching flags value, periodt. 💅

if it does not find one? then it falls back to the host or global default settings instead. no drama, defaults got you. 🫶

and when does this whole thing run? during scan time ⭐ — that's it, that's the context, don't overthink it.
