__fc_vport_setlink(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

hiii bestie 💖 welcome to the __fc_vport_setlink(9) page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and we're folding that manual name in right here at the top instead of copy-pasting the header like a boring NPC ✨

✨ NAME ✨

__fc_vport_setlink — update link and status on a VN_Port. That's the whole vibe: link + status, on a VN_Port, slay 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so the signature is giving tiny function, big responsibility:

void __fc_vport_setlink (struct fc_lport *n_port , struct fc_lport
*vn_port );

No cap, that's the exact shape — void, two struct fc_lport * besties, and yes, the line break is part of the original energy 😭

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • n_port — parent N_Port. The parent, the main character.
  • vn_port — VN_Port to update. This is the one getting the update glow-up.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Locking: must be called with both the N_Port and VN_Port lp_mutex held. Both. Not one. Not a vibe-based approximation. Both locks, bestie — that's the rule ⚠️💅
