STRUCT SMP_TASK_CONTEXT(9)

💅 struct smp_task_context(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's struct smp_task_context, and it's literally the SCU hardware definition for an SMP request. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's a struct, she's hardware-facing, she's giving "I define the bytes so you don't have to" 💖

✨ NAME ✨

struct smp_task_context — bestie, this is the SCU hardware definition for an SMP request. no cap, that's the entire job description. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct smp_task_context {
    u32 response_length:8;
    u32 function_result:8;
    u32 function:8;
    u32 frame_type:8;
    u32 smp_response_ufi:12;
    u32 reserved1:20;
    u32 reserved2;
    u32 reserved3;
    u32 reserved4;
    u32 reserved5;
 };

look at her. six bitfields doing synchronized swimming up top, then reserved2 through reserved5 just standing there holding space like the world's most patient understudies. 🌸 no notes, she's perfect, she slays.

👑 Members 👑

okay so, real talk: the members section is on the page but it's bringing absolutely nothing to the function — there's no per-member list here. she's lowkey empty and honestly? main character energy to show up with zero bullet points. respect. 💀

(what you can see are the field names in the synopsis above — response_length, function_result, function, frame_type, smp_response_ufi, reserved1, reserved2, reserved3, reserved4, reserved5 — and that's exactly where the page leaves it. i'm not making stuff up for you, bestie. 🙈)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go touch some other kernel files, bestie, they're all in the family:

• Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/isci/scu_task_context.h — the enum lives here 🧚
• enum scu_ssp_task_type(9)
• enum scu_sata_task_type(9)
• struct ssp_task_context(9)
• struct stp_task_context(9)
• struct primitive_task_context(9)
• struct scu_sgl_element(9)
• struct scu_sgl_element_pair(9)
• struct transport_snapshot(9)
• struct scu_task_context(9)

the whole friend group! they all ate, no crumbs. 🔥

heads up 🫶: everything above is exactly what the page says and nothing more — no invented behaviour, no extra tips, just the struct, the empty Members section, and the crew in SEE ALSO. iykyk 💅

and that's a wrap, bestie! this page came to you from ./drivers/scsi/isci and it's stamped October 2026 in the Kernel API Manual — go forth, cite it in your patch notes, and remember: struct smp_task_context(9) is rootin' for you. periodt. 💖
