fcoe_set_vpo...ymbolic_name(9)

💅 NAME 💅

fcoe_set_vport_symbolic_name — bestie, this one appends the vport string to the symbolic name ✨ (yes, that's literally the whole job, and it eats)

Oh and hey, this whole page lives in the Kernel API Manual — section 9, if you're keeping track 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void fcoe_set_vport_symbolic_name (struct fc_vport *vport );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vport — the fc_vport that's getting a brand new symbolic name string. That's it, that's the whole mood 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: you've just generated a fresh new symbolic name string, and now a new RSPN_ID request gets sent straight to the name server 💌 iconic behavior.

But here's the thing — there is no response handler. So if it fails for some reason? It will not be retried. Nope. Not happening. One shot, no callback, no second chances 😭 it's giving "sent the text and immediately threw the phone in a lake" energy, ngl.
