💅 bnx2i_send_iscsi_nopout(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for bnx2i_send_iscsi_nopout, and honestly? it's a whole little baddie. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_send_iscsi_nopout — post an iSCSI NOPOUT request WQE to the hardware, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bnx2i_send_iscsi_nopout (struct bnx2i_conn *bnx2i_conn , struct
       iscsi_task *task , char *datap , int data_len , int unsol );

like, five args, returns an int, she's got range 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bnx2i_conn — the iscsi connection, periodt. that's her whole thing.
• task — the transport layer's command structure pointer, and she's the one requesting a WQE to get sent to the chip for further processing. main character energy fr.
• datap — payload buffer pointer, i.e. the goods 📦
• data_len — payload data length. how much goods.
• unsol — this one indicates whether the nopout pdu is an unsolicited pdu, or if it's in response to the target's NOPIN w/ TTT != FFFFFFFF. literally the vibe check of the whole call ngl.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

prepare and post a nopout request WQE to the CNIC firmware ✨ that's it. that's the whole flex. she prepares it, she posts it, she leaves. iconic behavior honestly 🔥
