ibmvfc_link_down(9)

💖 ibmvfc_link_down(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ibmvfc_link_down(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. This one is short and sweet: it handles a link down event from the adapter. That's the vibe. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ibmvfc_link_down — Handle a link down event from the adapter.

Like, the adapter is telling you the link went down, and this function is the one that handles that event. It's giving "link down, but make it a kernel API page" energy. 🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ibmvfc_link_down (struct ibmvfc_host *vhost , enum
       ibmvfc_host_state state );

The return type is void, so it's not handing you back a value, bestie — it's just the signature above, exactly. And yes, the spacing is part of the look. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vhost — the ibmvfc host struct. That's the host struct you're passing in, periodt.
• state — the ibmvfc host state to enter. Yep, this is the state the host should enter.
