💅 bnx2i_bind_conn_to_iscsi_cid(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is bnx2i_bind_conn_to_iscsi_cid 🎀 the whole page title is literally bnx2i_bind_c...to_iscsi_cid(9) iykyk, they had to squish it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_bind_conn_to_iscsi_cid — bind a conn structure to an 'iscsi_cid' 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bnx2i_bind_conn_to_iscsi_cid (struct bnx2i_hba *hba , struct
       bnx2i_conn *bnx2i_conn , u32 iscsi_cid );

like, three things go in and an int comes out 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hba — pointer to the adapter instance, the whole vibe of the hardware basically 🫶
• bnx2i_conn — pointer to the iscsi connection, your fave little conn struct
• iscsi_cid — the iscsi context ID, range 0 - (MAX_CONN - 1) ⭐ (yes there's a range, respect the range bestie)

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so what it does: it updates the iscsi cid table entry with the connection pointer 💅 and that is the whole slay — because once that's in there, the driver can quickly get hold of the connection structure pointer in the completion/interrupt thread by using the iscsi context ID 🔥 like a little lookup, no cap. iconic behavior honestly 👑
