ibmvscsis_ping_response(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so welcome to the ibmvscsis_ping_response(9) page of the Kernel API Manual, bestie. This function is literally respond to a ping request — that's the whole assignment, periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

long ibmvscsis_ping_response (struct scsi_info *vscsi );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vscsi — pointer to our adapter structure. Yep, that's the one argument, bestie, and it's giving adapter-structure-pointer energy. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the whole point: let the client know that the server is alive and waiting on its native I/O stack. 💖 That's the good-vibes message.

If any type of error occurs from the call to queue a ping response, then the client is either not accepting or receiving interrupts. In that case, the move is to disconnect with an error. 😭 No cap, that's the dramatic consequence.

🫶 EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT 🫶

EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT: Interrupt, interrupt lock held. So yeah, bestie, that's the context — interrupt, interrupt lock held. ⭐
