✨ fc_fcp_pkt_send (9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

---

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got yourself a Fibre Channel port, and you've got a packet that needs to go out. That's literally this function. It's fc_fcp_pkt_send, and it's here to make that happen. Welcome to the Kernel API Manual, no cap. 🦋

🎀 NAME 🎀

fc_fcp_pkt_send — Send a fcp_pkt

Like, just… send it. Slay. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int fc_fcp_pkt_send (struct fc_lport *lport , struct fc_fcp_pkt *fsp );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• lport — The local port to send the FCP packet on. Think of it as the vibe check location for your packet. 📍
• fsp — The FCP packet to send. This is the actual main character packet. 👑

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns zero for success and -1 for failure. The way this return value is either "we ate" or "we flopped" and there is no in-between. 😭

Locks: Called without locks held. So like… don't be holding any locks when you call this, bestie. That's important. No cap. 🔒🙅‍♀️
