lpfc_fdmi_change_check(9)

💅 lpfc_fdmi_change_check(9) — the vibe check for your FDMI params 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil function called lpfc_fdmi_change_check, and honestly? she's giving "quiet background checks" energy. like she's not the main character of the SCSI driver, but she absolutely keeps things from falling apart. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lpfc_fdmi_change_check (struct lpfc_vport *vport );

that's it. that's the whole signature. void in, void out, and one pointer in the middle. slay. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vport — pointer to a host virtual N_Port data structure. that's your vport bestie, she's holding all the N_Port lore ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what does she actually do? buckle up:

• she checks how many mapped NPorts we are connected to — literally counting her friends, love that for her 👑
• she checks if our hostname changed — like noticing someone changed their whole identity in the group chat, iconic 🙈
• and heads up: she's called from the hbeat timeout routine to check if any FDMI parameters changed. and if they did? she re-registers those Attributes. periodt. 🔥

so basically she's the friend who notices when literally anything is different and immediately updates the whole spreadsheet. no cap. ✨
