📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 lpfc_free_nvmet_sgl_list 💖

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (lpfc_free_nvmet_sgl_list(9), section 9) and bestie, it's a short one but it's important. sit down, get comfy, we're learning about freeing memory 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_free_nvmet_sgl_list — literally just frees the nvmet sgl list. that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lpfc_free_nvmet_sgl_list (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

it returns void — nothing comes back out, no cap, it just does the thing and dips ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — pointer to the lpfc hba data structure. that's your main character right there, the whole hba struct, hand it over and let the routine do its thing 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the tea is: this routine gets invoked to free the driver's nvmet sgl list and its memory. like, both. the list and the memory behind it. clean sweep, no leftovers, we love a thorough queen 🧹✨

that's it. that's the description. short and iconic, honestly 🌈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

this is the part where the page absolutely ate — the cross-reference list is sending me, it's giving "everyone in the group chat got tagged" 😭💀. all of these live in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_init.c:

lowkey read a few of these when you have a sec — they're the whole lifecycle of the hba living in one lpfc_init.c and it's honestly iconic 🧚

and that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 💅✨

this one comes out of the ./drivers/scsi/lpfc source tree, dated October 2026, and the footer credits it as lpfc_free_nvmet_sgl_list(9) — mwah, go free that sgl list 🎀💜
