💅 fc_rport_enter_adisc — bestie, we're sending an ADISC

okay so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the glow-up moment where we go ask a remote port "hey babe, who even are you?" ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fc_rport_enter_adisc (struct fc_rport_priv *rdata );

no cap, that's the whole signature — void in, void out, no return value to stress about 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rdata — the remote port we're sending the ADISC request to. like, this is the port. the main character of this function tbh 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it actually do? It sends an Address Discover (ADISC) request, periodt. That's the vibe. 💅

And then the important footnote, bestie, listen up:

Reference counting: it increments the kref when sending ELS. 👑

That's it, that's the whole description — but that kref bump is not a detail you skip, iykyk 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is LONG, so buckle up. All of these live in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_rport.c and they're basically the whole friend group 🧚

like, yes, all of them. every single one. we don't leave the group chat on read 💀

and that's the page, bestie!! stay iconic, keep your krefs balanced, and go discover some addresses 💜
