💖 fnic_fcoe_send_vlan_req — the kernel manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, and this one is a fnic function — yes, the FCoE one, don't worry, I got you 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fnic_fcoe_send_vlan_req — literally sends a FIP vlan request to all the FCFs MAC 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fnic — the handle to your fnic driver instance. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's low maintenance 💁‍♀️

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay so the kernel file lives at ./drivers/scsi/fnic/fip.c and it's giving family reunion, because look at all these siblings:

• fnic_fcoe_reset_vlans(9)
• fnic_fcoe_process_vlan_resp(9)
• fnic_fcoe_start_fcf_discovery(9)

bestie reminder 🫶 every single one of those references matters — if you're debugging vlan discovery and you skipped the SEE ALSO, that's on you, not me 💀
