lpfc_io_error_detected_s4(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is lpfc_io_error_detected_s4(9) — the method for handling PCI I/O error to an SLI-4 device. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pci_ers_result_t lpfc_io_error_detected_s4 (struct pci_dev *pdev , pci_channel_state_t state );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pdev — pointer to PCI device. like, the PCI device pointer, bestie.
• state — the current PCI connection state.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture the PCI subsystem doing error-handling stuff for a device with the SLI-4 interface spec. This routine is what it calls to handle it. More specifically, the PCI subsystem calls this function after a PCI bus error affecting this device has been detected. 🚨

When this function is invoked, it will need to stop all the I/Os and interrupt(s) to the device. Once that's done, it returns PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET for the PCI subsystem to perform proper recovery as desired. slay, recovery arc. 🫶

The return codes are:

• PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET — need to reset before recovery
• PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT — device could not be recovered

bestie, keep those codes exactly as written — the page is very clear that PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET means reset before recovery, and PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT means the device could not be recovered. no cap. 💀
