lpfc_cmpl_els_rrq(9)

💫 lpfc_cmpl_els_rrq — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💫

okay so you're reading the lpfc_cmpl_els_rrq(9) page, welcome, come sit with me 💖 this one lives in the kernel docs and it's basically the "cleanup crew" page — short, sweet, and it does exactly one job, but it does it well. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_cmpl_els_rrq — completion handled for els RRQs. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

it returns void, so like… nothing comes back. it just does the thing. icon behavior honestly. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure. your home base, the big one 🏠
• cmdiocb — pointer to lpfc command iocb data structure. this is the command side of the story ✨
• rspiocb — pointer to lpfc response iocb data structure. and this is the response side, the reply, the "hey i heard you" 🫶

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does this routine actually do? bestie it's giving cleanup main character energy:

This routine will call the clear rrq function to free the rrq and clear the xri's bit in the ndlp's xri_bitmap.

like — free the rrq, and clear that xri's bit out of the ndlp's xri_bitmap. tidy. organized. obsessed. 🌈

but here's the little plot twist that i need you to remember 😭:

If the ndlp does not exist then the clear_rrq is still called because the rrq needs to be freed.

read that again fr fr — even when the ndlp is gone, you still call clear_rrq, because that rrq still needs to be freed. the memory does not get to just vibe there forever. no leaks on my watch 💀

that's the whole page, bestie. short king. 💜 and before i go — this one came out of ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026, and that's the source and date from the footer, so now you know where it lives and when it was born 🎀 slay, go free those rrqs responsibly ✨🦋
