💅 fcoe_ctlr_vn_age — check for VN_ports without recent beacons

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's giving tiny but important timer check energy. Let's get into it, bestie 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

fcoe_ctlr_vn_age — check for VN_ports without recent beacons 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned long fcoe_ctlr_vn_age (struct fcoe_ctlr *fip );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fip — the FCoE controller. that's the main character here 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Called with ctlr_mutex held. no cap, that part matters.
