fc_seq_start_next_locked(9)

💅 fc_seq_start_next_locked(9) — the Kernel API Manual page your group chat needed

okay so hear me out bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely so niche but so important, like it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy. grab a strawberry drink and let's get into it 🍓✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

fc_seq_start_next_locked — literally what it says on the tin: it allocates a new sequence on the same exchange as the supplied sequence. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct fc_seq * fc_seq_start_next_locked (struct fc_seq *sp );

that's it, that's the whole call. one argument, returns a pointer to a struct fc_seq. iconic and minimal 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sp — the sequence/exchange you're asking to get a new sequence for. that's the one. that's who you're talking to. 🫶

ok real talk, this is the only argument, so if you fumble it there is nothing else to blame. no pressure tho 💖

💜 cute little sign-off: this page lives in ./drivers/scsi/libfc, and it's dated October 2026. so go forth, allocate that sequence, and slay 🧚‍♀️⭐🌈
