lpfc_config_port_prep(9)

💖 lpfc_config_port_prep 💖

Kernel API Manual, section 9 — welcome to the bestie edition of this page. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_config_port_prep — Perform lpfc initialization prior to config port. It’s the pre-game ritual before config port, bestie. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lpfc_config_port_prep (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure. That’s the HBA’s main-character pass, no cap. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This routine will do LPFC initialization prior to issuing the CONFIG_PORT mailbox command. Lowkey the opening act before the main event. 💫

It retrieves the revision information from the HBA and collects the Vital Product Data (VPD) about the HBA for preparing the configuration of the HBA. So it’s giving pre-config glow-up — not the config itself, just the prep era. 🦋

Return codes, and yes every single one matters:

• 0 — success. Slay. ✅
• -ERESTART — requests the SLI layer to reset the HBA and try again. A little reset-and-rerun moment. 🔁
• Any other value — indicates an error. Not the vibe; handle it. 💀
