bnx2i_send_conn_destroy(9)

💅 bnx2i_send_conn_destroy — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the bnx2i driver, and it's time to say goodbye to an iSCSI connection. Not a sad goodbye — a clean goodbye. This little function is the one that starts the teardown, and honestly? She's giving main character energy. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2i_send_conn_destroy — initiates iscsi connection teardown process 🫶

Yeah. She destroys connections. Politely. On purpose. Periodt.

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int bnx2i_send_conn_destroy (struct bnx2i_hba *hba , struct
bnx2i_endpoint *ep );

Two pointers in, one int out. That's the whole vibe check. 💫

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hba — adapter structure pointer. it's your HBA, your hardware bestie, the whole reason any of this works 🖥️
• ep — endpoint (transport identifier) structure. this is the one who's getting torn down, no cap 💀

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do, you ask? this routine prepares and posts CONN_OFLD_REQ1/2 KWQE to initiate iscsi connection context clean-up process 🧹✨

that's it. that's the whole thing. she preps the request, she posts the request, the clean-up process gets going. iconic behaviour, lowkey 🙈

ngl, if you're here reading this, you're already pretty deep in the bnx2i sauce. respect. 🫡
