fnic_fcoe_process_cvl(9)

💖 NAME 💖

This is the fnic_fcoe_process_cvl(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving “small function, big cleanup energy” ✨. It processes a Clear Virtual Link from FCF. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fnic_fcoe_process_cvl (struct fnic *fnic , struct fip_header *fiph
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fnic — the handle to the fnic driver instance. Think of it as your VIP pass to the driver 💅.
• fiph — the received frame. The actual message that pulled up to the function 🫶.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the whole plot is: verify that the cvl was received from our current FCF for our assigned MAC, then clean up and restart the vlan discovery. That's the entire quest, bestie. The way this function is doing cleanup with main character energy? Obsessed. 💖
