💖 lpfc_els_handle_rscn 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_els_handle_rscn(9), bestie. This is the little vport-RSCN-handling icon, and we’re gonna get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_els_handle_rscn — Handle rscn for a vport 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int lpfc_els_handle_rscn (struct lpfc_vport *vport );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vport — pointer to a host virtual N_Port data structure. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this routine handles the Registration State Configuration Notification (RSCN) for a vport. No cap. 💖

If login to NameServer does not exist, a new ndlp shall be created and a Port Login (PLOGI) to the NameServer is issued. 🌸

Otherwise, if the ndlp to NameServer exists, a Common Transport (CT) command to the NameServer shall be issued. 🦋

If CT command to the NameServer fails to be issued, the lpfc_els_flush_rscn routine shall be invoked to clean up any RSCN activities with the vport. Cleanup era. 🧹

Return code vibes:

• 0 — Cleaned up rscn on the vport
• 1 — Wait for plogi to name server before proceed
