fc_lport_recv_els_req(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat 💖 this page is fc_lport_recv_els_req(9) — literally the generic lport ELS request handler. that's the whole vibe.

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

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

🧾 ARGUMENTS 🧾

• lport — the local port that received the request. she's the one getting the message 💌
• fp — the request frame. the actual frame in question, no cap.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does it do? it checks whether the lport handles the request, or whether an rport should handle it instead. that's the tea ☕

🔒 Locking Note 🔒

⚠️ do not call this function with the lport lock held, bestie — it will grab the lock itself. that is a whole locking note and you need to respect it, fr fr 💀
