fc_vport_terminate(9)

💅 fc_vport_terminate(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual manual manual, the fc_vport_terminate(9) one. Don't worry, I'm not gonna copy-paste that whole header line at you, we're doing this properly. Let's go. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fc_vport_terminate — Admin App or LLDD requests termination of a vport

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int fc_vport_terminate (struct fc_vport *vport );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vport — the fc_vport to be terminated. like, that's the one, that's the vport getting its exit arc 😭

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what this does: it calls the LLDD vport_delete function first, and then it deallocates and removes the vport from the shost and the object tree. that's the whole ritual, that's the plot. calls vport_delete, deallocates, removes, done. slay. 💅

---

🔥 NOTES 🔥

this routine assumes no locks are held on entry. no cap. if you show up holding a lock, that's on you bestie, this function did not sign up for that 😭

anyway that's the page! 🫶 this whole thing came out of ./drivers/scsi and it's stamped October 2026 — so like, go forth and terminate those vports, and remember: no locks on entry, bestie. periodt. 🧚💖
