hiii bestie, welcome to the glow-up of the bnx2i_iscsi_send_generic_request(9) page — yes it's a kernel API manual page, yes it's niche, yes we're still gonna make it cute 💅

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_iscsi_send_generic_request — the one that gets called to send mgmt tasks 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int bnx2i_iscsi_send_generic_request (struct iscsi_task *task );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• task — the transport layer task pointer, i.e. the lil handle to the task you're shipping out ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: bnx2i_iscsi_send_generic_request is the function that gets called to transmit PDUs that were prepped by the 'iscsid' daemon. like, the daemon did its little prep work and now this is the doorway those packets walk through 🚪✨

and which packets, you ask? iSCSI login requests, Nop-out requests, and Logout requests — all of them flow through this path. periodt. 👑
