bnx2i_process_iscsi_error(9)

💖 bnx2i_process_iscsi_error — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found a (9) page, which means we are in kernel API territory — this one lives in the bnx2i manual and it's all about error notifications, so buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_process_iscsi_error — literally the function that processes error notifications on a given connection 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void bnx2i_process_iscsi_error (struct bnx2i_hba *hba , struct
iscsi_kcqe *iscsi_err );

no cap, that's the whole signature 🫶

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hba — a pointer to the adapter structure, aka the whole vibe of the hardware instance 🌸
• iscsi_err — a pointer to the iscsi error kcqe, aka the actual tea about what went wrong 🍓

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does 👑 — it handles iscsi error notifications coming from the FW (that's the firmware, iykyk).

here's the lore: the firmware, during the initial handshake, classifies iscsi protocol violations / TCP rfc violations into either warning or error indications ✨

• if the indication is of the "Error" type, the driver will initiate session recovery for that connection/session 🔥
• if it's a "Warning" type indication, the driver will put out a system log message 📝 — and bestie, listen, there will be only one message for each type for the life of the session. that's on purpose, to avoid un-necessarily overloading the system 💀

not me emphasizing this but fr fr: one message per type, per session lifetime. the driver is being polite to your logs, respect it 🙈
