lpfc_get_stats(9)

💅 lpfc_get_stats(9) — yeah she's in the Kernel API Manual, get into it

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about lpfc_get_stats — the little function whose whole entire job is to hand you the statistical tea about the adapter. she's giving "backstage pass to the host's receipts" and honestly? iconic. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_get_stats — Return statistical information about the adapter 🌸

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

struct fc_host_statistics * lpfc_get_stats (struct Scsi_Host *shost );

no cap, that's the whole signature. one function, one struct pointer coming back at you. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• shost — the kernel scsi host pointer. that's it, that's the whole vibe. pass her in and she knows which host she's talking about 💫

---

💀 NOTES 💀

okay so this is the part where you gotta pay attention, because she's a little dramatic and will absolutely hand you NULL in a whole bunch of situations. she returns NULL on error for:

• link down 😭
• no mbox pool
• sli2 active
• management not allowed
• memory allocation error
• mbox error

like miss girl has conditions. respect them. 🙈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

NULL for error, otherwise the address of the adapter host statistics 💖 — that's your prize, that's the data, slay.
