💅 bnx2i_5771x_...onn_ofld_req(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀

Okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a lil kernel-flavored gem from the Kernel API Manual (yes, section 9, the fun one) ✨ It's the page for bnx2i_5771x_send_conn_ofld_req, and honestly it does exactly one thing and does it with main character energy. Let's get into it 🦋

---

🌸 NAME

bnx2i_5771x_send_conn_ofld_req — initiates iscsi connection context creation 💖

Like, that's the whole vibe. It kicks off the creation of an iSCSI connection context. Periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

int bnx2i_5771x_send_conn_ofld_req (struct bnx2i_hba *hba , struct
bnx2i_endpoint *ep );

It returns an int, and it takes two pointers. That's it, that's the signature, no cap 📌

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• hba — adapter structure pointer 💫 (the actual hardware adapter, being its iconic self)
• ep — endpoint (transport identifier) structure 🌈 (the endpoint, aka the transport identifier — yes both things, it's giving multitasking iykyk)

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION

57710 specific — okay so this is the 57710-specific flavor of the operation, and what it does is prepares and posts CONN_OFLD_REQ1/2 KWQE 🚀

Preparing and posting. That's the whole job. Iconic, lowkey efficient, ate 💅
