sdev_evt_send_simple(9)

💅 sdev_evt_send_simple 💅

okay so this page is sdev_evt_send_simple(9), and honestly it's one of those tiny little helpers in the SCSI corner of the kernel that does exactly one thing and does it cute. bestie, it sends an asserted event to the uevent thread. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdev_evt_send_simple — send asserted event to uevent thread

like, the name literally tells you everything: simple, send, event. no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void sdev_evt_send_simple (struct scsi_device *sdev , enum
scsi_device_event evt_type , gfp_t gfpflags );

returns nothing (void), takes three things. she's lowkey minimalist. 💜

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sdev — the scsi_device the event went down on. like, which device are we gossiping about. 💅
• evt_type — the type of event you're sending. the what-happened.
• gfpflags — the GFP flags for allocation. yes, this girl allocates, so hand her the right flags. ⭐

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Assert the scsi device event asynchronously, given an event type. that's the whole assignment. you hand it an event type, it asserts it async, and the uevent thread handles the rest — main character energy, no blocking, no waiting around. 💫

ngl bestie, this page is short so there's no drama here — no exit statuses, no signals, no warnings, no bugs section. just one tidy async event. slay. 💀

and that's the whole page, mwah 💖 — brought to you by the fine folks over in ./drivers/scsi, dated October 2026, in the sdev_evt_send_simple(9) manual. go forth and assert your events, queen. periodt. 🌈👑
