lpfc_dump_static_vport(9)

💫 lpfc_dump_static_vport 💫

okay bestie, welcome to the lpfc_dump_static_vport(9) page — yes it's a Linux kernel API manual page, yes we're doing this, and yes it's gonna slay. This one lives in the kernel API manual and it is literally the function that tells your HBA to spill its static vport tea. 🫖✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_dump_static_vport — dump the HBA's static vport information. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lpfc_dump_static_vport (struct lpfc_hba *phba , LPFC_MBOXQ_t *pmb ,
uint16_t offset );

it returns an int, it takes three args, no cap. 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — pointer to the lpfc hba data structure. like, the main character of the whole operation fr.
• pmb — pointer to the driver internal queue element for the mailbox command. this is the little envelope the command gets shipped in 📬
• offset — offset for dumping vport info. yes queen, we're offsetting. 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

the dump mailbox command provides a method for the device driver to obtain various types of information from the HBA device. iconic behavior honestly, the driver just asking the hardware nicely for the deets.

this routine prepares the mailbox command for dumping the list of static vports to be created. so it's not even doing the dumping itself — it's the prep work, the getting-ready-with-a-matcha moment. the setup bestie. the hype girl. 🧚✨

ngl this is a "prepare the thing so the thing can happen" type function — don't expect it to hand you the vport list directly, it's prepping the mailbox command for the dump. 💀
