okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for __qla2x00_marker, and yes we are getting into it 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

__qla2x00_marker — send a marker IOCB to the firmware. that's the whole assignment, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int __qla2x00_marker (struct scsi_qla_host *vha , struct qla_qpair
*qpair , uint16_t loop_id , uint64_t lun , uint8_t type );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• vha — HA context, bestie. that's the host adapter situation 🦋
• qpair — queue pair pointer, literally what it says 🎀
• loop_id — loop ID ⭐
• lun — LUN, iconic as always 💜
• type — marker modifier, the little type detail 🌸

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Can be called from both normal and interrupt context. yes bestie, both contexts — she's flexible like that 💅

Returns non-zero if a failure occurred, else zero. so: non-zero = something went wrong 😭, zero = we're good 👑. fr fr.
