ufshcd_send_command(9)

💖 ufshcd_send_command — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ufshcd_send_command and honestly? it's giving "small function, big job" energy. this is the little guy that sends SCSI or device management commands. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ufshcd_send_command — Send SCSI or device management commands 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the signature, copied character for character because we do NOT play with typos in this house 💅

void ufshcd_send_command (struct ufs_hba *hba , struct scsi_cmnd *cmd ,
       struct ufs_hw_queue *hwq );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

three (3) whole arguments. a trinity. an icon, a legend, and the moment. let's meet them 🫶

• hba — per adapter instance. yes queen, every adapter gets her own. main character energy fr fr 💜
• cmd — SCSI command or device management command pointer. so it's one or the other, and either way it's the thing actually going somewhere 📨
• hwq — pointer to hardware queue instance. the hardware queue in question. literally just a pointer to it. slay ✨
