lpfc_bsg_event_new(9)

💖 lpfc_bsg_event_new(9) 💖

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (lpfc_bsg_event_new(9), section 9, kernel API vibes only) and bestie, it's literally one function: it allocates and initializes an event structure. that's the whole main character moment. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_bsg_event_new — allocate and initialize a event structure 🦋

(yes, "a event." the kernel said what it said and we respect it 💅)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct lpfc_bsg_event * lpfc_bsg_event_new (uint32_t ev_mask , int
ev_reg_id , uint32_t ev_req_id );

like, it hands you back a struct lpfc_bsg_event * and takes three lil arguments. that's it. slay. ⭐

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• ev_mask — Mask of events. 💫 that's the mask, babe, it's masking events.
• ev_reg_id — Event reg id. 🫶 it's an int, it's the event reg id, iconic behaviour honestly.
• ev_req_id — Event request id. 🔥 a uint32_t, and it is, in fact, the event request id.

three args, zero mystery, total vibe check pass. 🌈

ngl if you're looking for lpfc_bsg_event_free(9), lpfc_bsg_event_ref(9) or lpfc_bsg_event_unref(9) — they're up there in the list, they're the event lifecycle besties, go say hi 🧚

ok final sign-off moment: this page lives in ./drivers/scsi/lpfc and it's dated October 2026 — that's the source/version and date, and honestly? future-dated manpage energy. main character. periodt 💅✨🎀 🍓
