__lpfc_sli_issue_fcp_io_s4(9)

💅 `__lpfc_sli_issue_fcp_io_s4` — NAME

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's about __lpfc_sli_issue_fcp_io_s4, and it's literally an SLI4 device function for sending an fcp io wqe 🦋. Like, that's the whole vibe. iykyk.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int __lpfc_sli_issue_fcp_io_s4 (struct lpfc_hba *phba , uint32_t ring_number , struct lpfc_iocbq *piocb , uint32_t flag );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

Girl, there are four of them and each one matters, no skipping 🙈:

phba — a pointer to the HBA context object. iconic pointer behavior 💅
ring_number — the SLI ring number you're issuing the wqe on. pick your ring wisely 🫶
piocb — a pointer to the command iocb 📨
flag — a flag that says whether this command is allowed to be put into the txq. yes, it's a whole decision 🙏

✨ DESCRIPTION

So __lpfc_sli_issue_fcp_io_s4 is the function other functions in the driver call when they need to issue a wqe command to an HBA that's running the SLI-4 interface spec 💖.

And hear me out, because this part is lowkey important: this function is a lockless version 🔓. No locks, no cap. The way it works is it returns success once it's successfully submitted the wqe to firmware, or once it's been added to the txq — either one counts, and the function is done. periodt 💅
