lpfc_els_rsp_rpl_acc(9)

💅 lpfc_els_rsp_rpl_acc ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — section 9, the deep-lore corner where the kernel devs hide the driver internals 🫶. This one's all about lpfc_els_rsp_rpl_acc, and ngl it's kind of a baddie: it just sends one little accept and dips.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_els_rsp_rpl_acc — issue an accept rpl els command ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int lpfc_els_rsp_rpl_acc (struct lpfc_vport *vport , uint16_t cmdsize ,
struct lpfc_iocbq *oldiocb , struct lpfc_nodelist *ndlp );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vport — pointer to a host virtual N_Port data structure. it's giving "who am i, where am i plugged in" energy 🔌
• cmdsize — size of the ELS command. literally just how big the thing is 💅
• oldiocb — pointer to the original lpfc command iocb data structure. the before picture 🖼️
• ndlp — pointer to a node-list data structure. the node bestie in question 🌈

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so this routine issues an Accept (ACC) Read Port List (RPL) ELS command 💖 — periodt. the whole point of it is to be called by the lpfc_els_rcv_rpl routine, so that routine can accept the RPL. iykyk 🤝

⚠️ important note, don't skip this: the ndlp reference count will be incremented by 1 for holding the ndlp, and the reference to ndlp will be stored into the ndlp field of the IOCB so the completion callback function can fire for the RPL Accept Response ELS command. that's the whole handshake, and the count is how it stays alive. no cap 💀

and the return codes, iconic as ever:

• 0 — successfully issued ACC RPL ELS command 🎉
• 1 — failed to issue ACC RPL ELS command 😭
