_fcoe_create(9)

okay bestie, welcome to _fcoe_create from the Kernel API Manual — the internal fcoe interface-creation moment. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

_fcoe_create — (internal) Create a fcoe interface. periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int _fcoe_create (struct net_device *netdev , enum fip_mode fip_mode ,
       enum fcoe_create_link_state link_state );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the net_device object; this is the Ethernet interface you're creating on, bestie.
• fip_mode — the FIP mode for this creation. yup, that's the vibe.
• link_state — the ctlr link state on creation. noted 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this gets called from either the libfcoe 'create' module parameter via fcoe_create, or from fcoe_syfs's ctlr_create file. two entrances, one main character function 💖

also important: libfcoe's 'create' module parameter is deprecated, so some consolidation of code can be done when that interface is removed. not me being dramatic — that's literally the situation, and deprecated means deprecated 🔥
