scsi_result_to_blk_status(9)

💅 scsi_result_to_blk_status 💅

okay so real quick — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore too, keep up 🫶) and it's about one tiny little function that does one tiny little translation job. no cap, it's lowkey iconic for how much it carries on its shoulders.

✨ NAME ✨

scsi_result_to_blk_status — translate a SCSI result code into blk_status_t 💖

literally that's the whole gig. it takes the SCSI-flavored drama and converts it into block-layer language so everybody can understand each other. bestie behavior, fr fr.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

blk_status_t scsi_result_to_blk_status (int result );

look at her. one arg. no notes. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• result — the scsi error code 💀 this is the raw SCSI-side scoop, and she's about to get translated.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Translate a SCSI result code into a blk_status_t value.

that's it. that's the function. she takes the SCSI result code you hand her and hands you back a blk_status_t value. a little interpreter, a little translator, a little main character who speaks both languages 🧚✨. not me being obsessed with a conversion function but here we are.

💡 friendly reminder from your girl: every single one of those lives under ./drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c — that's the source path the page gives you, so don't come for me if you're looking elsewhere. 🫶

okay bye bestie, go translate some SCSI results 💜 this little writeup was served fresh from the ./drivers/scsi source, dated October 2026, and yes — scsi_result_to_blk_status(9) is her name, don't wear it out ✨🎀
