📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_mbox 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're fancy here 💅 — and today's main character is lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_mbox. Buckle up, it's giving big-kernel-energy.

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_bsg_handle_sli_cfg_mbox — handles the sli-cfg mailbox cmd when there's an ext buffer involved 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

literally one function, three args, slay 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • phba — a pointer to the HBA context object, i.e. your whole adapter's vibe lives here 🫶
  • job — a pointer to the job object — the actual task you're handling, no cap
  • dmabuf — a pointer to a DMA buffer descriptor, the little map to the memory you're working with ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So this routine handles the SLI_CONFIG (0x9B) mailbox command when it comes with non-embedded external buffers — that's the whole point of it, periodt.

That covers:

  • 0x9B with non-embedded MSEs
  • 0x9B with embedded subsystem 0x1 and opcodes that use external HBDs

basically it's the girlie who knows how to route the ext-buffer version of the SLI_CONFIG command 🔥 iykyk

then the whole friend group, in order, and yes I'm listing every single one because we don't do half-finished lists here 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this little beauty lives in ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go read the source, it's iconic 💖✨
