fc_rport_recv_flogi_req(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so bestie, this is fc_rport_recv_flogi_req — from the Kernel API Manual, no less 👑 — and it handles a Fabric Login (FLOGI) request in p-mp mode. That's the whole name vibe. Slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature, preserved exactly because we do not mess with source code in this group chat 🫶:

void fc_rport_recv_flogi_req (struct fc_lport *lport , struct fc_frame
       *rx_fp );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • lport — the local port that received the PLOGI request. (yes, the argument description says PLOGI right there — I'm preserving the source wording exactly, bestie 👀)
  • rx_fp — the PLOGI request frame. iconic little frame, honestly 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Reference counting: drops kref on return.

that's it. that's the description. short, mysterious, absolutely doing the most with the least 💀✨

so yeah: when this function returns, the kref has been dropped. the source says it plain and simple, and we respect it.
