💅 ibmvfc_gather_partition_info(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 and today's main character is ibmvfc_gather_partition_info — yes that's the full name, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic and it knows it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibmvfc_gather_partition_info — literally just: Gather info about the LPAR 🦋 (that's the whole pitch, she's efficient)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ibmvfc_gather_partition_info (struct ibmvfc_host *vhost );

note the void up front — she gives nothing back, she's that kind of girl 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vhost — the ibmvfc host struct. that's it, that's the whole argument list, one (1) struct, we love a minimal queen 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea 🍵 — Return value: none.

that's genuinely all the manpage gives us. no cap. she gathers info about the LPAR (see NAME, she already told you), you hand her the vhost struct, and she returns... nothing. not zero, not an error code, nothing. void. empty-handed but stunning 😭✨

lowkey respect it — she does the work and doesn't even ask for credit 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the kernel file where all this lives: ./drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvfc-core.c 📁 and then... bestie. there are a LOT of friends. like, an unreasonable number. we're listing every single one because nobody gets left out of the group chat 💜

like I said. everyone. the whole friend group showed up to the function 🔥👑

and that's the page, bestie 🫶 it came from ./drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi and it's dated October 2026 — go gather that LPAR info, you're gonna slay 💅✨
