🎀 fcoe_interface_create(9) 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a whole moment. it's short, it's sweet, and it's literally the birth of an FCoE interface on a net device. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

fcoe_interface_create — create a FCoE interface on a net device 🦋

like, that's the whole gig. it makes the thing. main character energy fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct fcoe_interface * fcoe_interface_create (struct net_device *netdev
, enum fip_mode fip_mode );

ok so it hands you back a pointer to a struct fcoe_interface, and you feed it a net device plus a FIP mode. slay.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • netdev — the net device you're building this FCoE interface on top of. that's the canvas, the stage, the whole venue 👑
  • fip_mode — the mode to use for FIP. it's giving "you pick the vibe, i'll handle the rest" ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get a pointer to a struct fcoe_interface — or NULL on error 😭 so like, always check, no cap. a NULL is not the moment to be delulu.

side note bestie: NULL means error here, not "oops try again later", so handle it and don't just vibes-only through it 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

ok this section is long, like a whole group chat, but every single one of these is part of the family, so here we go. the source lives in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe.c — that's the mothership 🚀

like… that's the whole roster, iykyk 🔥 read them, love them, they're all doing their little jobs.

that's the page bestie, short and iconic, no notes 💜 this one came out of ./drivers/scsi/fcoe, dated October 2026 — mwah, mwah, and goodnight 🎀🫶
