bnx2i_iscsi_license_error(9)

💖 bnx2i_iscsi_license_error — the kernel API manual glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for bnx2i_iscsi_license_error(9) — yes the whole title, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic as is 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_iscsi_license_error — this one's whole job is displaying the iscsi license related error message. that's it. that's the gig. very demure, very mindful 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bnx2i_iscsi_license_error (struct bnx2i_hba *hba , u32 error_code
);

so it returns void (nothing back, she's not a returns-girlie) and takes two args, both listed below. no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hba — the adapter instance pointer 💖 literally just a pointer to the adapter instance, that's the whole vibe
• error_code — the error classification 🌈 it tells you what kind of error this is

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea: when the driver can't offload an iscsi connection because of license restrictions, this function puts out an error log. that's it. that's the entire plot 😭

so if you're seeing this fire, it's giving "your license said no" energy — the driver tried to offload and the license restrictions said absolutely not 🙈 the function's job is to make sure that fact lands in the log instead of just silently vanishing, which is honestly the bare minimum and we love her for it 👑
