💅 scsih_host_reset(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for scsih_host_reset — yes that's the whole manual name, it's serving "kernel docs" realness and honestly? iconic. this page is short, sweet, and about one (1) little function that does a very big job. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

scsih_host_reset — the eh threads main host reset routine, no cap. that's the whole vibe. it's the reset, and it's the main one. main character energy fr 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int scsih_host_reset (struct scsi_cmnd *scmd );

yes bestie, that space before the closing paren stays exactly where it is — kernel source is like that, we don't argue with it 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • scmd — pointer to a scsi command object. that's it, that's the whole input. one (1) pointer, one (1) dream ✨

💜 RETURN 💜

  • SUCCESS if the command was aborted 🎉
  • FAILED otherwise 😭

not me making a whole two-item list for a return value, but the manpage asked and we deliver 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where the page absolutely ate — someone lovingly listed basically the entire mpt3sas driver in here. every single one, bestie, i'm not skipping a single one of these, and they all point at the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.c:

like… the way they listed everything? obsessed. that's the entire guest list and every single one of them showed up 💀✨

okay and finally, the cute little sign-off 🥰 this page lives in ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, it's dated October 2026, and it's filed under scsih_host_reset(9) — so if you forget where you found it, it's right there in the corner being adorable. bye bestie, go reset a host responsibly 💖🎀🦋
