💅 bnx2i_send_iscsi_login — kernel API manual, section 9

okay bestie, so this is a kernel API manual page (section 9, the whole "kernel interfaces" vibe) and it's all about one tiny but lowkey iconic function. let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_send_iscsi_login — post an iSCSI login request MP WQE to hardware

like, that's the whole job. it takes the login and yeets it at the chip. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int bnx2i_send_iscsi_login (struct bnx2i_conn *bnx2i_conn , struct
       iscsi_task *task );

she returns an int, she takes two pointers, she's booked and busy 🎀

🎯 ARGUMENTS 🎯

  • bnx2i_conn — the iscsi connection, aka the whole vibe of the connection you're working on 🔥
  • task — the transport layer's command structure pointer, and this is the one actually requesting a WQE to sent to the chip for further processing 👑
ngl that task description is doing the most, but the point is: it's the command struct that's asking for a WQE, and it wants it sent to the chip so the chip can keep chewing on it.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

prepare and post an iSCSI Login request WQE to CNIC firmware ✨

that's it. that's the whole description. she's short, she's sweet, she knows exactly what she wants — get the login WQE ready, then hand it off to the CNIC firmware. no cap, that's the entire function's personality 🌈

okay that's the whole page, bestie — no notes, she's short and she's perfect 🫶
