iscsi_iser_conn_bind(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ iscsi_iser_conn_bind ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the iscsi_iser_conn_bind(9) page 💖 this is a kernel API manual situation, and it's literally about binding iscsi and iser connection structures together. no cap, that's the whole vibe check of this function 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int iscsi_iser_conn_bind (struct iscsi_cls_session *cls_session , struct
       iscsi_cls_conn *cls_conn , uint64_t transport_eph , int is_leading );

like… that's the whole call, bestie. four things go in, an int comes out 🔥

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • cls_session — the iscsi class session, babe. that's the session-side struct you're handing over 🫶
  • cls_conn — the iscsi class connection. yes queen, both of the connection structures show up to the party ✨
  • transport_eph — the transport end-point handle, typed as uint64_t 🌈
  • is_leading — this one tells you if this is the session leading connection (MCS). lowkey important for knowing which conn is the main character 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • zero on success — we love a clean win, periodt 💅
  • $error if iscsi_conn_bind fails — it's giving "something went sideways" 😭
  • -EINVAL if the end-point doesn't exist anymore, or if the iser connection state is not UP (i.e. teardown already started). so like, if the thing is already packing its bags, you get -EINVAL 🙈
ngl, that -EINVAL case matters — end-point gone or state not UP means teardown already started, so don't expect this call to slay 👀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the kernel file itself, bestie:

Kernel file ./drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c

and the whole friend group of related pages, all of them, no skips 💜

okay that's the page, ily, go bind those structures and be iconic about it 💖🧚

from ./drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser, dated October 2026 — catch you in the next manpage, bestie 🎀
