lpfc_hba_free_post_buf(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this page is lpfc_hba_free_post_buf(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the function is lpfc_hba_free_post_buf — Perform lpfc uninitialization after HBA reset. That's the name vibe, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Bestie, the signature is literally:

void lpfc_hba_free_post_buf (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• phba — pointer to lpfc HBA data structure. That's it. That's the whole argument list. Iconic minimalism. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This routine will cleanup posted ELS buffers after the HBA is reset when bringing down the SLI Layer. So like, HBA reset happens, SLI Layer is going down, and this is the clean-up girlie for the posted ELS buffers. ✨

Return codes: void. That's the whole story — it's not handing you a return value back. Periodt. 💀
