lpfc_bsg_event_ref(9)

✨ lpfc_bsg_event_ref(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this is a little function page from the kernel world, and trust me, it's giving "tiny but mighty" energy. we're talking about lpfc_bsg_event_ref — no cap, it's a whole vibe.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_bsg_event_ref — increments the kref for an event 💖

like, it literally bumps up the reference count on an event structure. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic minimalism, honestly.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void lpfc_bsg_event_ref (struct lpfc_bsg_event *evt );

yes bestie, that's the whole signature. short and slay. 🎀

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• evt — Pointer to an event structure. 🫶 that's the thing you're bumping the kref on, periodt.

ngl bestie, this is one of those tiny kernel helpers that keeps the whole refcount system from falling apart — so show it some respect. no pressure tho. 💀

💜 and that's the tea! this little page lives in ./drivers/scsi/lpfc and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, mark your calendar, future bestie. stay slay, stay referenced, and don't forget to unref when you're done. mwah! 🎀✨
