lpfc_els_unsol_buffer(9)

💅 lpfc_els_unsol_buffer(9) — Kernel API Manual realness ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so the name is literally lpfc_els_unsol_buffer, and the job is: process an unsolicited event data buffer. no cap 💅

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

void lpfc_els_unsol_buffer (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct lpfc_sli_ring
     *pring , struct lpfc_vport *vport , struct lpfc_iocbq *elsiocb );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure.
• pring — pointer to a SLI ring.
• vport — pointer to a host virtual N_Port data structure.
• elsiocb — pointer to lpfc els command iocb data structure.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here’s the tea: this routine is used for processing the IOCB associated with an unsolicited event. First, it determines whether there is an existing ndlp that matches the DID from the unsolicited IOCB. If not, it will create a new one with the DID from the unsolicited IOCB. The ELS command from the unsolicited IOCB is then used to invoke the proper routine and to set up the proper state of the discovery state machine.

iconic state-machine behavior, honestly ✨
