lpfc_cmpl_els_prli(9)

💅 lpfc_cmpl_els_prli — completion callback function for prli (Kernel API Manual, bestie edition)

okay so. Hi. This page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about lpfc_cmpl_els_prli — the function that shows up when a Process Login finally comes back and you gotta deal with the answer. It lives in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c (iykyk). Buckle up, it's short and sweet. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_cmpl_els_prli (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct lpfc_iocbq
*cmdiocb , struct lpfc_iocbq *rspiocb );

like, that's the whole signature. no return value, void, it just does its thing and dips. 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure. it's the HBA's whole personality in one struct. 🦋
• cmdiocb — pointer to lpfc command iocb data structure. the command side of the story.
• rspiocb — pointer to lpfc response iocb data structure. and this is the response side, literally the reply.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe: this routine is the completion callback function for a Process Login (PRLI) ELS command. So the PRLI went out, and now it's back, and this function is the one that answers the door. 🚪✨

First thing it does is check the PRLI response IOCB status for error status. like, vibe check on the response. 👀

If there is error status reported? Then a PRLI retry shall be attempted, and it does that by invoking the lpfc_els_retry routine. Try again bestie, it's giving resilience. 🔥

Otherwise — no error, we're slaying — the state NLP_EVT_CMPL_PRLI gets sent to the Discover State Machine (DSM) for this ndlp, to mark the PRLI completion. that's it, that's the whole function. main character energy, in and out. 👑

ngl it's a small function but it's load-bearing. mess with the state machine at your own risk, bestie. 💀
