sdev_evt_alloc(9)

💅 sdev_evt_alloc(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

💖 NAME 💖

sdev_evt_alloc — allocate a new scsi event. That’s the whole name section, and yes she’s iconic for it. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct scsi_event * sdev_evt_alloc (enum scsi_device_event evt_type ,
gfp_t gfpflags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• evt_type — the type of event you’re allocating, bestie. It’s an enum scsi_device_event.
• gfpflags — the GFP flags for allocation. It’s a gfp_t.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this one is lowkey simple: sdev_evt_alloc allocates a brand-new scsi_event and returns it. That’s it. It’s giving “small function, main character energy” — no cap. 💅
