💅 __lpfc_sli_get_iocbq(9) 💅

okay so this page is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “small function, huge friend group” energy. buckle up, bestie 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

__lpfc_sli_get_iocbq — literally allocates an iocb object from iocb pool. that’s the whole flex. no cap ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct lpfc_iocbq * __lpfc_sli_get_iocbq (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

copy that exactly, bestie — spaces and all 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — a pointer to HBA context object. that’s it. that’s the whole argument. iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this function is called with hbalock held. do not forget the lock, bestie — that’s the vibe check 🔒

it allocates a new driver iocb object from the iocb pool. if the allocation is successful, it returns a pointer to the newly allocated iocb object; otherwise it returns NULL. so like, either you get your cute new object or you get NULL and you move on. periodt 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is where the friend group gets absolutely huge. the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c is in the mix, and so are all of these icons — every single one, fr fr:

okay bye bestie 🫶 this cute little page lives under ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, it’s dated October 2026, and yes — it’s still the __lpfc_sli_get_iocbq(9) show. mwah 💋
