🦋 scsi_get_pseudo_sdev(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for scsi_get_pseudo_sdev(9). It’s giving kernel-internals realness, and we’re gonna keep every detail cute and intact. 💖

💅 NAME 💅

scsi_get_pseudo_sdev — attach a pseudo SCSI device to a SCSI host. periodt. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct scsi_device * scsi_get_pseudo_sdev (struct Scsi_Host *shost );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• shost — the host that needs a pseudo SCSI device, bestie. That’s the whole argument tea. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the lock-status vibe check is literally:

Lock status: None assumed.

That’s the description, no cap. 💅

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

it’s giving:

The scsi_device or NULL

That’s the return situation. 💜

---

🔥 NOTES 🔥

okay so here’s the actual notes moment, and it’s lowkey the main character energy of this page:

• This attaches a single scsi_device to the Scsi_Host.
• The primary aim for this device is to serve as a container from which SCSI commands can be allocated.
• Each SCSI command will carry a command tag allocated by the block layer.
• These SCSI commands can be used by the LLDD to send internal or passthrough commands without having to manage tag allocation inside the LLDD.

fr fr, no skipped details. 🔥
