csio_lnode_start(9)

💖 csio_lnode_start(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay bestie, so this is csio_lnode_start, straight outta the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "small function, big main character energy" ✨ it's like three lines of prose but she does exactly one thing and she does it flawlessly.

---

✨ NAME ✨

csio_lnode_start — kickstart lnode discovery, periodt 💅

like literally, she starts the discovery. that's the whole job. no notes.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int csio_lnode_start (struct csio_lnode *ln );

that's it. that's the signature. returns an int, takes one pointer, we love a low-maintenance icon 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ln — the lnode 💖 (yes that's the whole description, and honestly? she said "you know what it is already" and i respect it)

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the vibe: this routine kickstarts the discovery by issuing an FCOE_LINK (up) command 🔥

that's the tea. that's the entire lore. she sends the up command, discovery goes brrr, everyone claps 👑

ngl it's a tiny function but it's lowkey the moment the whole thing wakes up — FCOE_LINK up, bestie. that's the plot.

ok quick vibe check before you go: this whole page lives in ./drivers/scsi/csiostor, dated October 2026, and yes the header at the top of the original said csio_lnode_start(9) in the Kernel API Manual — same energy, just cuter now 🧚

mwah 💋 that's the page, bestie — go start some lnodes, stay hydrated, and don't forget to FCOE_LINK up 🦋✨
