fc_remote_port_create(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is fc_remote_port_create(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the name is literally right there: fc_remote_port_create — allocates and creates a remote FC port. periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct fc_rport * fc_remote_port_create (struct Scsi_Host *shost , int
       channel , struct fc_rport_identifiers *ids );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• shost — the scsi host the remote port is connected to. that's the host bestie, the whole connection situation 💖
• channel — the channel on the shost port connected to. yes, the specific channel on that shost port 🦋
• ids — the world wide names, fc address, and FC4 port roles for the remote port. all the identity deets, no cap 🪪✨

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so this routine allocates and creates the remoter port structure — and yes, the original says “remoter,” we are keeping the icon’s spelling, it’s giving typo main character energy 😭💀. it also handles the class and sysfs creation. full port glow-up, start to finish. 🫶

---

🚨 NOTES 🚨

Important vibe check: this routine assumes no locks are held on entry. no cap, don’t come in holding a lock — that’s the whole note. 🔐💀
