lpfc_ct_handle_mibreq(9)

💅 lpfc_ct_handle_mibreq(9) 💅

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one's a whole lil' function from the SCSI lpfc world — say hi to lpfc_ct_handle_mibreq 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_ct_handle_mibreq — the routine that processes an unsolicited CT MIB request data buffer. literally that's her job description, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lpfc_ct_handle_mibreq (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct lpfc_iocbq *ctiocbq );

notice the void? she returns nothing. she does her thing and dips. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• phba — pointer to the lpfc hba data structure. yeah, the whole adapter's lore lives in there 🏠
• ctiocbq — pointer to the lpfc CT command iocb data structure. this is the IOCB carrying the CT command tea ☕

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this routine is used for processing the IOCB that's associated with an unsolicited CT MIB request. main character energy fr fr 👑

first thing she does? she checks whether there's already an existing ndlp that matches the DID from that unsolicited IOCB. if there isn't one — she just returns. that's it. no ndlp, no service. goodbye, have a nice day 😭

side note: unsolicited here means nobody asked for it, and she's still showing up to handle it. iconic behaviour honestly 🌈
