lpfc_get_hba_model_desc(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this is the lpfc_get_hba_model_desc(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — pull up a chair, bestie, we're learning this together 🫶✨

💖 NAME 💖

lpfc_get_hba_model_desc — retrieve HBA device model name and description. That's the whole assignment, no cap 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_get_hba_model_desc (struct lpfc_hba *phba , uint8_t *mdp ,
       uint8_t *descp );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — pointer to the lpfc hba data structure.
  • mdp — pointer to the data structure to hold the derived model name. It's giving output-buffer main character energy 💅
  • descp — pointer to the data structure to hold the derived description. Also very much an output buffer, we love that for her 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this routine retrieves the HBA's description based on its registered PCI device ID. Lowkey iconic, honestly.

The descp passed into this function points to an array of 256 chars. It shall be returned with the model name, maximum speed, and the host bus type. The mdp passed into this function points to an array of 80 chars. When the function returns, the mdp will be filled with the model name. Periodt 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is literally a whole friend group 😭 the kernel file is ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_init.c, and here are all the referenced icons:

and that's the tea, bestie 🫖✨ this page lives under ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, its date stamp is October 2026, and the page itself is literally lpfc_get_hba_model_desc(9) — mwah 💋
