scsi_target_reap(9)

💅 scsi_target_reap(9) 💅

okay bestie, pop on your reading glasses because this is the Kernel API Manual page for scsi_target_reap(9) — yes, the target reaper itself, and it's lowkey iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

scsi_target_reap — check to see if target is in use and destroy if not.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void scsi_target_reap (struct scsi_target *starget );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• starget — target to be checked. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the vibe is this: you use scsi_target_reap after removing a LUN or after doing a last put of the target. It checks — atomically — that nothing is using the target, and if nothing is using it, it removes it. No cap, that's the whole job. ✨
