iscsi_suspend_tx(9)

okay so bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is iscsi_suspend_tx(9) 🫶✨

💖 NAME 💖

iscsi_suspend_tx — suspend iscsi_data_xmit 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void iscsi_suspend_tx (struct iscsi_conn *conn );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• conn — the iscsi conn to stop processing IO on. literally the connection we're pausing 🛑💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way this works: it sets the suspend bit so that iscsi_data_xmit is prevented from sending new IO 🚫📤

and if work is already queued on the xmit thread, it will wait for it to be completed ⏳✨ no cap, it's giving "hold up, let this finish first" energy.
