ibmvfc_issue_fc_host_lip(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is ibmvfc_issue_fc_host_lip(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and its name is literally Re-initiate link initialization. That's the whole assignment. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ibmvfc_issue_fc_host_lip (struct Scsi_Host *shost );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• shost — scsi host struct. That's the one and only argument, no cap.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Return value: 0 on success / other on failure. So 0 = iconic success, and anything in the "other" bucket = the failure vibe. That's literally the whole description, periodt. 😭

okay that's the whole page, bestie! cute sign-off time: source/version ./drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi, date October 2026, and the page title/version tag ibmvfc_issue_fc_host_lip(9). byeee, go re-initiate that link initialization 💅🫶✨
