fcoe_ctlr_recv_els(9)

🎀 fcoe_ctlr_recv_els(9) 🎀

ok bestie so this page comes straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it is short but it's giving classic kernel-doc realness, so let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

fcoe_ctlr_recv_els — handle an incoming FIP encapsulated ELS frame 💌

That's it. That's the whole job description. She does one thing and she does it well.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fcoe_ctlr_recv_els (struct fcoe_ctlr *fip , struct sk_buff *skb );

literally that's the whole signature, no return value, nothing returned, void queens stay winning 💅 (and yes the spacing is exactly like that, copy it verbatim, no cap — don't "tidy" it up 🙈)

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• fip — the FCoE controller which received the packet 👑 so like, the one who actually picked up the phone
• skb — the received FIP packet 📦 the actual incoming package itself, the whole reason we're here

Two arguments. Two. Main character energy, minimalism, we stan. ⭐

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

So this function lives in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_ctlr.c and its friend group is enormous. Like, this is a whole extended family and you're gonna meet all of them. Buckle in bestie, nobody gets left out of this list 🧚 ✨

sixty-one whole references, all of them, in order, not one dropped — that's the assignment and we ate 🔥 iykyk

ngl this one is a light read: two arguments, a void, and one very long guest list. enjoy the quiet before the FCoE lore dump 💀
