lpfc_cmpl_els_flogi_fabric(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

hey bestie 💖 welcome to lpfc_cmpl_els_flogi_fabric(9) from the Kernel API Manual — today’s main character is the completion function for a FLOGI to a fabric port, and she is booked, busy, and handling it 💅

💖 NAME 💖

lpfc_cmpl_els_flogi_fabric — completion function for flogi to a fabric port. No cap, that’s literally her whole job description.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lpfc_cmpl_els_flogi_fabric (struct lpfc_vport *vport , struct lpfc_nodelist *ndlp , struct serv_parm *sp , uint32_t ulp_word4 );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vport — pointer to a host virtual N_Port data structure. The vport girlie in question 🫶
  • ndlp — pointer to a node-list data structure. The node-list bestie.
  • sp — pointer to service parameter data structure. Service-param realness ✨
  • ulp_word4 — command response value. The receipts from the command.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this routine is invoked by the lpfc_cmpl_els_flogi completion callback function to handle the completion of a Fabric Login (FLOGI) into a fabric port in a fabric topology. She’s the cleanup-and-setup girlie for that exact moment 💫

It properly sets up the parameters to the ndlp from the IOCB response. Literally copying the important bits over so nobody’s confused.

It also checks the newly assigned N_Port ID to the vport against the previously assigned N_Port ID. If it is different from the previously assigned Destination ID (DID), the lpfc_unreg_rpi routine is invoked on all the remaining nodes with the vport to unregister the Remote Port Indicators (RPIs). Yes bestie, that’s the unregister-the-RPIs moment — highkey important, lowkey dramatic 😭

Finally, the lpfc_issue_fabric_reglogin is invoked to register login to the fabric. And that’s the slay at the end of the function 💅

Return code 0 — Success (currently, always return 0). Periodt, always 0 for now.
