fc_lport_error(9)

💅 fc_lport_error(9) 💅

okay so this page is straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's about fc_lport_error — the handler for any errors. yes, any. it's giving "catch-all bestie who handles everyone's drama" energy 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

fc_lport_error — handler for any errors 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void fc_lport_error (struct fc_lport *lport , struct fc_frame *fp );

like, that's the whole signature. short king. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• lport — the local port that the error was on. that's the one having a bad day, not you. 💖
• fp — the error code encoded in a frame pointer. yes bestie, the error code is inside the frame pointer. iykyk. 🔥

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕ — if the error was caused by a resource allocation failure, then you wait for half a second and retry. literally just a lil nap and then try again, no cap 😴✨

otherwise (i.e. it's not a resource allocation failure), you retry after the e_d_tov time instead. that's the vibe. different error, different waiting period, periodt. 💀
