lpfc_fcf_inuse(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the lpfc_fcf_inuse(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally here to check if an FCF can be unregistered 💅✨

lpfc_fcf_inuse — check if FCF can be unregistered.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lpfc_fcf_inuse (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — pointer to the hba context object, periodt 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: lpfc_fcf_inuse() iterates through all FC nodes associated with all vports to check if there is any node with fc_rports associated with it. If there is an fc_rport associated with the node, then the node is either in discovered state or its devloss_timer is pending. no cap, that's the whole check 💖
