💖 lpfc_find_vport_by_vpid(9) 💖

okay so this little page comes from the Kernel API Manual, and it is lowkey all about finding a vport on a HBA through a vport identifier. Bestie, let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_find_vport_by_vpid — find a vport on a HBA through vport identifier. Periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The signature is right here, verbatim, no cap:

struct lpfc_vport * lpfc_find_vport_by_vpid (struct lpfc_hba *phba ,
       uint16_t vpi );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Two arguments, both main-character energy:

• phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure.
• vpi — the physical host virtual N_Port identifier.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This routine finds a vport on a HBA (referred by phba) through a vpi. The function walks the HBA's vport list and returns the address of the vport with the matching vpi. That's the whole vibe 🫶

🔁 Return code

• NULL — No vport with the matching vpi found.
• Otherwise — Address to the vport with the matching vpi.
