💖 bnx2fc_ulp_start(9) 💖

okay bestie, this one’s from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “tiny callback, very important adapter moment.” No cap, let’s get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2fc_ulp_start — cnic callback to initialize & start adapter instance

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void bnx2fc_ulp_start (void *handle );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• handle — transport handle pointing to adapter structure. That’s the pointer to the adapter situation, bestie.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This function maps adapter structure to pcidev structure and initiates firmware handshake to enable/initialize on-chip FCoE components. It’s giving low-level FCoE glow-up energy ✨

This bnx2fc - cnic interface api callback is used after following conditions are met:

• a) underlying network interface is up (marked by event NETDEV_UP from netdev)
• b) bnx2fc adatper structure is registered.
