💅 lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_ebuf 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_bsg_han...sli_cfg_ebuf(9) — yes the name is a whole mouthful, yes it's giving truncated-energy, but we're gonna get through it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_ebuf — literally the function that handles an ext buffer with an sli-cfg mailbox cmd. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_ebuf (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct bsg_job
*job , struct lpfc_dmabuf *dmabuf );

not me dropping the exact signature so you can copy it character-for-character, no cap 🙈

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• phba — a pointer to the HBA context object. like, the whole adapter's main character energy lives in here 👑
• job — a pointer to the job object. the task at hand, fr fr.
• dmabuf — a pointer to a DMA buffer descriptor. it's the lil descriptor telling you about the buffer, iconic ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does this routine actually do? it handles the external buffer with the SLI_CONFIG (0x9B) mailbox command — and the key detail, bestie, is that it's the case with multiple non-embedded external buffers. plural. multiple. not embedded. we love a specific scenario 💅

that's the teardown. lowkey simple, highkey important. 🔥
