✨ scsi_ioctl_...ssing_errors(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones, so we're gonna get through it together, yeah? 💖 It's about scsi_ioctl_block_when_processing_errors — yes that's a whole mouthful, yes it's iconic, no I will not be shortening it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

scsi_ioctl_block_when_processing_errors — literally just here to prevent commands from being queued, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int scsi_ioctl_block_when_processing_errors (struct scsi_device *sdev ,
int cmd , bool ndelay );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sdev — the target scsi device, aka the main character of this function 🎀
  • cmd — which ioctl is it 👀 (yes, you gotta know, that's your job)
  • ndelay — no delay, i.e. non-blocking, i.e. we are not waiting around 💨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay the whole point here: we can process a reset even when a device isn't fully operable. 🔥 That's it. That's the sentence. The device is kinda going through it and we're still out here handling resets, slay 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉
  • <0 error code 😭 (negative means bad vibes, remember that)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

like, go read those too, iykyk 🧚

fr fr bestie, this page is short but every single word is doing its job — don't skip the return values, they matter 💀

and that's the whole thing! 💖 this lil page lives in ./drivers/scsi and its version stamp says October 2026 — so go forth, block those commands, protect the queue, and remember: process that reset even when the device is being dramatic 👑⭐🌈

bye bestie, love u, go read some kernel source 💜🦋🌸
