💅 fc_scsi_scan_rport — a.k.a. the fc_scsi_scan_rport(9) manual page, bestie 🫶

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel API docs (yes, the Kernel API Manual, we're fancy now ✨) and you land on fc_scsi_scan_rport(9). That's the one. That's our girl. Let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

fc_scsi_scan_rport — the function that gets called to perform a SCSI scan on a remote port. literally that's her whole job, no cap 💅

she returns void, she takes one pointer, she does not miss 🔥

---

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay so this is the part where the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_fc.c shows up and honestly? the friend group is huge. iykyk 😭
