bnx2i_conn_bind(9)

💅 bnx2i_conn_bind(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 💅

okay so bestie, this is bnx2i_conn_bind(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “glue three things together and hope the TCP connection behaves” energy. Let’s get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2i_conn_bind — binds iscsi sess, conn and ep objects together. That’s the whole assignment, no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bnx2i_conn_bind (struct iscsi_cls_session *cls_session , struct
       iscsi_cls_conn *cls_conn , uint64_t transport_fd , int is_leading );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cls_session — pointer to iscsi cls session. It’s the session-side bestie. 💖
• cls_conn — pointer to iscsi cls conn. The connection-side bestie.
• transport_fd — 64-bit EP handle. Yes, 64-bit. Big handle energy. 🔥
• is_leading — leading connection on this session? Basically: is this the main-character connection? 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so what it does: it binds together the iSCSI session instance, the iSCSI connection instance, and the TCP connection. Three-way friendship bracelet, but for kernel objects. 💅

This routine returns an error code if the TCP connection does not belong on the device where the iSCSI sess/conn is bound. So yeah, if the TCP connection is at the wrong party, it’s not slaying, and you get an error code. 😭
