scsi_report_device_reset(9)

💅 scsi_report_device_reset(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for scsi_report_device_reset. This one is short, sweet, and very "tell the mid-layer what you just saw" energy. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

scsi_report_device_reset — report device reset observed

---

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

void scsi_report_device_reset (struct Scsi_Host *shost , int channel ,
       int target );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• shost — the host in question, aka the host we're talking about 💖
• channel — the channel on which the reset was observed
• target — the target on which the reset was observed

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This is a utility function that low-level drivers use to report that they have observed a device reset on the device being handled. like, "hey bestie, a reset happened over here" vibes. ✨

Lock status: Host lock must be held 🔒

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Nothing — that's it, that's the return. literally nothing. 💀

---

🧚 NOTES 🧚

You only actually need to call this if the reset is one which originates from an unknown location. Resets originated by the mid-level itself don't need to call this, but there should be no harm. 🦋

The main purpose of this is to make sure that a CHECK_CONDITION is properly treated. so yeah, it's giving "small function, important job" energy. 👑
