💅 lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_ext — kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual about lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_ext, and honestly? It's a whole little moment. Grab your iced coffee, we're getting into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_ext — handles the sli-cfg mailbox situation when there's an external buffer involved 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

like, yes, she takes three pointers and returns an int. main character behavior fr fr 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — pointer to the HBA context object. the whole vibe of the adapter lives here 🫶
  • job — pointer to the job object. she's the one carrying the task 💖
  • dmabuf — pointer to a DMA buffer descriptor. this is the descriptor, not the buffer itself, iykyk ✨

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does this routine actually do? She checks and handles those non-embedded multi-buffer SLI_CONFIG (0x9B) mailbox commands, plus the external buffers that come along with them 😭✨

That's the whole assignment. SLI_CONFIG, 0x9B, non-embedded, multi-buffer, external buffers — you got this 💜

ngl, this one's short and sweet, so don't go reading extra lore into it. the facts are: she checks, she handles, she returns 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

First up, the file she literally lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_bsg.c

and then, the entire extended friend group 👑 (in the exact order the original shouted them out, no cap):

like, that's a lot of friends and every single one of them deserves a mention 💖
