💖 fc_rport_error_retry(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual — yes this is a (9) page, that's the kernel-section vibe, we're in the big leagues now 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fc_rport_error_retry — the handler for remote port state retries 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fc_rport_error_retry (struct fc_rport_priv *rdata , int err );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • rdata — the remote port whose state is getting retried, like, that's her moment 👑
  • err — the error code. the receipt of what went wrong, no cap 💀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — if the error was an exchange timeout, she retries immediately, like instantly, zero patience, main character energy. otherwise? she waits for E_D_TOV. periodt. ⏳

💅 Reference counting, listen up: it increments kref when scheduling retry_work. that's the whole deal, don't forget it.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_rport.c — and honestly the whole friend group is here, it's giving family reunion 😭💖

and that's the page, bestie ✨ this one came out of ./drivers/scsi/libfc and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future energy 🌈🦋 mwah, ily, go retry those ports 💜
