target_send_busy(9)

💅 target_send_busy — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're a kernel target driver, the initiator is asking for something, and honestly? The vibe check says not right now. That's literally what this function is for — it sends a SCSI BUSY status right on back to the initiator. No cap. 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

target_send_busy — sends the SCSI BUSY status back to the initiator. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int target_send_busy(struct se_cmd *cmd);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• cmd — the SCSI command you're busting out that BUSY reply for. It's a struct se_cmd *, and yes you have to hand it over, the whole function hinges on it. 💖

---

💀 NOTE 💀

Okay this one is important, do not skip it: only call this function if target_submit_cmd*() failed. Like... failed failed. If the submit actually worked, this is not the move, bestie. Read the room. 😭
