✨ iscsi_iser_session_create(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is literally the page for iscsi_iser_session_create and it's giving "let's build a whole iSCSI session from scratch" main character energy. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

iscsi_iser_session_create — create an iscsi-iser session 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct iscsi_cls_session * iscsi_iser_session_create (struct
       iscsi_endpoint *ep , uint16_t cmds_max , uint16_t qdepth , uint32_t
       initial_cmdsn );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • ep — the iscsi end-point handle 🫶 that's your lil connection ticket, bestie
  • cmds_max — maximum commands in this session 🔥 like the cap on how many commands can be in flight, periodt
  • qdepth — session command queue depth ⭐ the queue's vibe check
  • initial_cmdsn — initiator command sequence number ✨ the starting number for the command sequence, iykyk

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So here's the tea ☕: this function allocates and adds a scsi host, exposes DIF support if it exists (yes, if — it's conditional, don't come for me 🙈), and sets up an iscsi session. That's literally it. Three little jobs and she ate. 💀
