lpfc_fc_frame_to_vport(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the lpfc_fc_frame_to_vport(9) page in the Kernel API Manual, bestie! This function finds the vport that a frame is destined to. that's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct lpfc_vport * lpfc_fc_frame_to_vport (struct lpfc_hba *phba ,
struct fc_frame_header *fc_hdr , uint16_t fcfi , uint32_t did );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• phba — pointer to the HBA structure to search for the vport on. like, this is the place we're snooping around in 🔍
• fc_hdr — a pointer to the FC Header data. and yes, it's In Big Endian Format, no cap. 🧚
• fcfi — the FC Fabric ID that the frame came from. gotta know the origin story fr fr.
• did — Destination ID to match against. the vibe check for where this frame is headed 🎯

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function searches the phba for a vport that matches the content of the fc_hdr passed in and the fcfi. it uses the fc_hdr to fetch the VFI, if the Virtual Fabric Tagging Header exists, and the DID. that's lowkey the whole little detective moment. 🔎

then it returns the matching vport pointer, or NULL if it's unable to match the frame to a vport. so if it can't find the match, it's giving “no thoughts, just NULL” 😭. periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

these are the exact kernel cross-refs, bestie — guest list is long because the kernel is extra like that. no renaming, no merging, no skipping. 💖
