STRUCT ISCSI_ISER_TASK(9)

✨ struct iscsi_iser_task — iser task context ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct iscsi_iser_task(9) 🎀 this is the iser task context, and honestly? she's iconic. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole struct, laid out exactly how it lives in the source — no cap, every member, character for character:

struct iscsi_iser_task {
    struct iser_tx_desc          desc;
    struct iser_conn             *iser_conn;
    enum iser_task_status        status;
    struct scsi_cmnd             *sc;
    int command_sent;
    int dir[ISER_DIRS_NUM];
    struct iser_mem_reg          rdma_reg[ISER_DIRS_NUM];
    struct iser_data_buf         data[ISER_DIRS_NUM];
    struct iser_data_buf         prot[ISER_DIRS_NUM];
 };

like, she's giving structure. she's giving organization. we love a tidy struct 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so every single one of these, in order, because we don't skip:

• desc — the TX descriptor 💌 that's her outgoing-mail moment.
• iser_conn — link to the iser connection 🔗 this is the group-chat she's in.
• status — current task status ⭐ where she's at emotionally (technically).
• sc — link to the scsi command 🎯 her ride-or-die, the scsi command in question.
• command_sent — indicate if command was sent 📬 lowkey just a "did we press send" flag, bestie.
• dir — iser data direction 🧭 which way the data's flowing, an array sized ISER_DIRS_NUM.
• rdma_reg — task rdma registration desc 🌈 also ISER_DIRS_NUM of them, one per direction.
• data — iser data buffer desc 🍓 the actual payload vibes, ISER_DIRS_NUM strong.
• prot — iser protection buffer desc 🛡️ protection info, again ISER_DIRS_NUM of them.

heads up bestie: dir, rdma_reg, data and prot are all indexed by direction, sized ISER_DIRS_NUM — not a single lonely value 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie — mwah 💖 this one came straight from ./drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser, dated October 2026, and yes the footer still says struct iscsi_iser_task(9) because we keep the receipts 🧾 periodt 💅
