📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 lpfc_cleanup_rcv_buffers(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and this one is literally the cleanup crew of the lpfc driver — the function that comes in with a broom and a playlist and says "everybody out" to all the outstanding receive sequences. no cap, it's short but it's important. let's get into it 🧹✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_cleanup_rcv_buffers — cleans up all outstanding receive sequences. that's it, that's the job description, and she does it flawlessly 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_cleanup_rcv_buffers (struct lpfc_vport *vport );

look at her. takes one thing, returns nothing (void sweetie, she's not giving you a value back), and she gets it done 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vport — the vport that the received sequences were sent to. like, which virtual port were these sequences addressed to? that one. the exact one. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍵: this function cleans up all outstanding received sequences. every single one. not a couple, not the ones that look cute — all of them.

and it's the driver that calls it, specifically when a link event or a user action invalidates all the received sequences. like when the vibes shift and suddenly those sequences are no longer valid — that's her cue, she steps in and clears them out. icon behavior honestly 🌈

bestie note: it's void, so don't go looking for a return value. she doesn't report back, she just handles it. 💀
