💅 __lpfc_sli_release_iocbq(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 and honestly? today's episode is a little short one but she is important. buckle up, it's giving cleanup arc 💜

🌸 NAME 🌸

__lpfc_sli_release_iocbq — release that iocb right back to the iocb pool, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __lpfc_sli_release_iocbq (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct lpfc_iocbq
*iocbq );

like, that's the whole signature. she's a void, she returns nothing, she just does the thing 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • phba — pointer to the HBA context object. yes, the whole adapter's vibe lives in here 👑
  • iocbq — pointer to the driver iocb object. this is the actual little guy getting handed back 🎀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea ☕ — you call this function while holding hbalock, and it releases the driver iocb object back to the iocb pool. that's the entire mission. iconic, efficient, no notes 💅

the iotag inside the iocb object does not change for each use of the iocb object — so she keeps her tag, that's her whole identity, we respect it 🫶✨

but every other field of the iocb object? yeah, this function clears all of them when it's freed. full reset. main character leaves the group chat and clears the chat history on the way out 💀

⚠️ real talk bestie: this is called with hbalock held. that's not optional, that's the lore.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where I hold your hand, because the cross-reference list is long long. like, genuinely. but every single one of these is here, in order, untouched, exactly as written 💖 go read them iykyk:

also the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c — go say hi 💖

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 🍓 and before you close the tab — this one came out of ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026, as __lpfc_sli_release_iocbq(9) 💜 slay, bye ✨🎀
