fcoe_ctlr_vn_recv(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fcoe_ctlr_vn_recv(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about one little function: fcoe_ctlr_vn_recv. she's short, she's sweet, she does exactly one job, and honestly? iconic. let's get into it ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS

int fcoe_ctlr_vn_recv (struct fcoe_ctlr *fip , struct sk_buff *skb );

like, that's the whole signature. no drama. take it in. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • fip — the FCoE controller that received the frame 👑 she's the one who picked up the call, basically
  • skb — the received FIP frame 📨 the actual packet in question, no cap

💖 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the vibe: this function returns non-zero if the frame is dropped, and it always consumes the frame. always. every time. that's the whole deal — the frame is gone after this, so don't come looking for it. 🫶

⚠️ bestie please internalize "always consumes the frame" — like, that's not a sometimes thing. the frame gets eaten. periodt. 💀

🧚 SEE ALSO

the whole friend group, in the order they're listed — kernel file ./drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_ctlr.c and then:

that's the whole squad, go say hi 🫶✨

and that's the page!! 🎀 this cutie lives in ./drivers/scsi/fcoe and the source/version line says October 2026 — so yeah, she's timestamped and everything. mwah, bye bestie 💜🦋🌸
