scsih_sdev_configure(9)

💅 scsih_sdev_configure(9) — device configure routine 💅

okay so this is the scsih_sdev_configure(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the device configure routine. We are configuring a scsi device, bestie, and the vibes are very “kernel main character energy.” 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

scsih_sdev_configure — device configure routine.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int scsih_sdev_configure (struct scsi_device *sdev , struct queue_limits
       *lim );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sdev — the scsi device struct, aka the scsi device in question, front and center.
• lim — the queue limits. That’s the whole note. 💅

💖 RETURN 💖

0 if ok — periodt. Any other return is assumed to be an error, and the device is ignored.

So like, if you get anything other than 0, the device is not coming to the party. It’s assumed to be an error and gets ignored. No cap. 😭
