ibmvfc_retry_tgt_init(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ibmvfc_retry_tgt_init(9) ✨ — yes, we're in the kernel docs and we're making it cute. This one is literally about attempting to retry a step in target initialization. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibmvfc_retry_tgt_init — Attempt to retry a step in target initialization. periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the signature, bestie — do not let the function-pointer formatting scare you:

int ibmvfc_retry_tgt_init (struct ibmvfc_target *tgt , void (*job_step)
(struct ibmvfc_target *) );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Two args, both important, no cap:

• tgt — the ibmvfc target struct, aka the target we're working with. 🎯
• job_step — the initialization job step; this is the step function involved in the retry. 🔁

💖 RETURN 💖

The return value is 1 if the step will be retried, and 0 if not. That's the whole vibe check. 😌
