fc_lport_set_local_id(9)

💅 fc_lport_set_local_id — like, the kernel API manual, bestie ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're being fancy today 👑) and it's all about one little function that sets a Port ID. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

fc_lport_set_local_id — set the local port Port ID for point-to-multipoint 🌸

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

void fc_lport_set_local_id (struct fc_lport *lport , u32 port_id );

no cap, that's the whole signature. short and iconic 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• lport — the local port that's getting its Port ID set. she's the main character here 👑
• port_id — the new port ID. the glow-up in question ✨

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the vibe: the lower-level driver calls this when the transport sets the local port_id. It's used in VN_port to VN_port mode for FCoE, and it causes FLOGI and discovery to be skipped — like, we're not doing that whole song and dance, we already know who we are 😌💅
