fcoe_ctlr_announce(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💅

💫 NAME 💫

fcoe_ctlr_announce — announce new FCF selection 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fcoe_ctlr_announce (struct fcoe_ctlr *fip );

Short, sweet, and literally iconic. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • fip — the FCoE controller. That's the one you pass in, bestie 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this is the announcement moment: a new FCF selection just happened, and fcoe_ctlr_announce is the function that announces it. ✨

It also sets the destination MAC for FCoE and control packets — yep, both of those. 🎯

It's called with neither ctlr_mutex nor ctlr_lock held. So when this runs, neither of those locks is held — no cap, that's literally the deal. 🔓💫
