💅 lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler — the remote node devloss timeout handler. She’s lowkey iconic in the lpfc world, and we’re gonna get into it. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler — Remote node devloss timeout handler

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler (struct lpfc_nodelist *ndlp );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ndlp — Pointer to remote node object. That’s the whole argument, bestie — just a pointer to the remote node object. 🦋

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here’s the tea: this function is called from the worker thread when the devloss timeout timer expires. ⏰✨

For an SLI4 host, this routine shall return 1 when at least one remote node — including this ndlp — is still in use of FCF. Otherwise, this routine shall return 0 when there is no remote node still in use of FCF when devloss timeout happened to this ndlp. No cap, that’s the exact vibe check. 💅
