okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual for fnic_vlan_discovery_timeout(9), and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's doing exactly one job. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fnic_vlan_discovery_timeout — literally just handles the vlan discovery timeout. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fnic_vlan_discovery_timeout (struct fnic *fnic );

no return value, no surprises, it's a void function and it ate. periodt. 🔥

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• fnic — handle to the fnic driver instance. that's your main character right there 👑 it's the pointer to the struct fnic you're working with.

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so this function fires at the end of the VLAN discovery window — or the end of the FCF discovery time window, depending on which one you're clocking ⏰ iykyk.

and then: it starts the FCF discovery if the VLAN was never used. like, if the VLAN never showed up to the party, we're moving on and starting FCF discovery instead 🫶 no cap.

ngl that's fifteen (15) whole cross-references, which is giving "networking code has a lot of timers" energy 😭 but we love her for it 💀
