iscsi_conn_unbind(9)

🌸 iscsi_conn_unbind(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to iscsi_conn_unbind(9) 💅 this is a page straight out of the kernel API manual and it's here to teach you how to shut the door on a connection before you yank the ethernet cord, metaphorically speaking. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

iscsi_conn_unbind — literally just: prevent queueing to conn. that's the whole vibe. no more work gets queued onto that connection, periodt 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void iscsi_conn_unbind (struct iscsi_cls_conn *cls_conn , bool is_active
);

it returns void, so like… nothing comes back. it just does the thing and leaves. main character energy honestly 👑

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cls_conn — the iscsi conn ep is bound to. that's the connection endpoint we're talking about, the one that's currently tied to this conn 🎀
• is_active — is the conn in use for boot or is this for EH/termination. so like, are we doing this because we're booting, or because of error handling / termination? that's the question this bool answers 💀

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea: this function must be called by drivers implementing the ep_disconnect callout. no cap, it's not optional for those drivers, it's a must 🫡

what it actually does is disable queueing to the connection from libiscsi, and it does that in preparation for an ep_disconnect call. so think of it as the pre-game — you shut off the queue first, then you go disconnect. the way that ordering matters is honestly iconic 🌟

bestie pls don't skip this step if you're a driver with an ep_disconnect callout. the page says must, and we respect the must 🙈
