iscsi_conn_setup(9)

💅 iscsi_conn_setup(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the iscsi_conn_setup(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. this is the function that literally makes your iscsi_cls_conn and your iscsi_conn — like, it births both of them, no cap. two for the price of one, we love a multitasker 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

iscsi_conn_setup — create iscsi_cls_conn and iscsi_conn 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iscsi_cls_conn * iscsi_conn_setup (struct iscsi_cls_session
*cls_session , int dd_size , uint32_t conn_idx );

it's giving "returns a pointer to a struct iscsi_cls_conn" and honestly? iconic. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cls_session — an iscsi_cls_session, bestie. that's the session you're hanging your new connection off of. 🌈
• dd_size — the size of the private driver data. yes, dd = driver data, and yes it's a size, so be normal about it. 📏
• conn_idx — the cid. that's the connection id, and that's the whole personality it's bringing. ⭐
