STRUCT MPT3SAS_TARGET(9)

💅 struct MPT3SAS_TARGET(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're literally reading kernel headers for fun now, and honestly? iconic behavior. this page is all about struct MPT3SAS_TARGET, which is the starget private hostdata. that's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct MPT3SAS_TARGET — starget private hostdata. lowkey the little private clubhouse where a scsi_target keeps its hostdata. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct MPT3SAS_TARGET {
    struct scsi_target *starget;
    u64 sas_address;
    struct _raid_device *raid_device;
    u16 handle;
    int num_luns;
    u32 flags;
    u8 deleted;
    u8 tm_busy;
    struct hba_port *port;
    struct _sas_device *sas_dev;
    struct _pcie_device *pcie_dev;
 };

like, look at her. every field exactly where it belongs, not me being obsessed with a struct definition at 2am 🙈

✨ Members ✨

🌸 the fields, one by one

• starget — the starget object. the whole reason we're here tbh 💖
• sas_address — the target's SAS address. it's giving "government name but for a device" 🫶
• raid_device — a raid_device pointer, used to access volume data. pointer to the volume data, periodt ✨
• handle — the device handle. short, sweet, load-bearing 🔥
• num_luns — number luns. yes, that's the original wording, and yes, we're keeping it exactly as-is, character for character, because them's the rules 👑
• flags — MPT_TARGET_FLAGS_XXX flags. all the little vibes, in bit form 💅
• deleted — target flagged for deletion 😭 (iykyk, this one's a mood)
• tm_busy — target is busy with TM request. busy busy, do not perceive her ⭐
• port — hba port entry containing the target's port number info. like a tiny ID card for her port 🌈
• sas_dev — the sas_device associated with this target 🦋
• pcie_dev — the pcie device associated with this target 🧚

ngl bestie, if you're poking at these fields directly you better know what you're doing, because this is kernel-land and the vibes there are unforgiving 💀
