lpfc_els_rcv_fpin_li(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 lpfc_els_rcv_fpin_li — like, the Kernel API Manual (section 9) page you didn't know you needed 🎀

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about lpfc_els_rcv_fpin_li(9). yes it's a mouthful. no you may not shorten it. it's an iconic little kernel function and it deserves your respect. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_els_rcv_fpin_li — literally just "Process an FPIN Link Integrity Event." that's the whole job. that's the assignment. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_els_rcv_fpin_li (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct fc_tlv_desc
*tlv );

look at her. returns void, takes two pointers, zero drama. main character energy fr fr. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • phba — Pointer to phba object. that's your hba bestie, she's the whole adapter, she's everything.
  • tlv — Pointer to the Link Integrity Notification Descriptor. that's the actual notification arriving with the tea. 🍵

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she do? she processes a Link Integrity FPIN event. and how, you ask? by logging a message. that's it. that's the function. she sees the Link Integrity event, she logs it, she goes about her day. no cap, that's the entire plot summary. 💅

lowkey it's giving "the friend who takes notes at the group hang so nobody forgets what happened." iconic behaviour. logging is self-care. 🔥
