bnx2fc_alloc_conn_id(9)

💅 bnx2fc_alloc_conn_id — the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay bestie, so this one is a kernel API page (that's the manual it lives in, iykyk), and it's short but iconic. it's all about getting an FCOE Connection id allocated. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2fc_alloc_conn_id — literally allocates an FCOE Connection id. that's it, that's the job, and she does it slayfully 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 bnx2fc_alloc_conn_id (struct bnx2fc_hba *hba , struct bnx2fc_rport *tgt );

not me showing you the exact signature so you can't mess it up 🫶 it returns a u32, no cap.

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hba — pointer to the adapter structure. yes, adapter as in the thing doing the adapting. she's the main character of this call 🔥
• tgt — pointer to the struct bnx2fc_rport structure. that's the target, bestie, and it's giving "the whole reason we're here" energy ✨

ngl, two pointers and a dream. that's the entire function. keep them pointing at real, live structures or it's gonna be a bad time 💀

and that's a wrap, bestie!! this page came straight out of ./drivers/scsi/bnx2fc and it's dated October 2026 — so screenshot it, cite it, whatever, just don't @ me. mwah 💜🎀
