fcoe_ctlr_vn_probe_req(9)

💫 NAME 💫

fcoe_ctlr_vn_probe_req — bestie, this one handles an incoming VN2VN probe request, no cap ✨

This page lives in the Kernel API Manual, so like, it's official official 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fcoe_ctlr_vn_probe_req (struct fcoe_ctlr *fip , struct fcoe_rport
*frport );

Yep, it returns void — it does the thing and doesn't need to report back, main character energy fr fr 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• fip — the FCoE controller itself, the whole vibe 💖
• frport — the parsed FCoE rport that came out of the probe request, iconic 🌟

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Okay so here's the tea: this gets called with ctlr_mutex held 🔒. That's it, that's the whole note — but it's literally the most important detail so don't forget it, bestie 😤
