lpfc_issue_cmf_sync_wqe(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_issue_cmf_sync_wqe(9) — and yes, the title is a whole mouthful, but it’s literally the routine that issues a CMF_SYNC_WQE. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lpfc_issue_cmf_sync_wqe (struct lpfc_hba *phba , u32 ms , u64 total
);

Copy that exactly, bestie — spaces, line break, all of it. No creative editing. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — Pointer to HBA context object. That’s your HBA context bestie, the main character of this function.
• ms — ms to set in WQE interval, 0 means use init op. So if it’s zero, it’s giving “use init op” energy.
• total — Total rcv bytes for this interval. All the received bytes for this interval, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This routine is called every CMF timer interrupt. Like, every single time that CMF timer interrupt pops off, this function gets the call. Its whole purpose? Issue a CMF_SYNC_WQE to the firmware to inform it of any events that may indicate we have congestion (FPINs or Signals). Upon completion, the firmware will indicate any BW restrictions the driver may need to take. That’s the tea: the firmware tells the driver what bandwidth restrictions it may need to take. 💖

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Okay, the SEE ALSO section is giving full main-character energy and it is LONG. The original points at Kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c and then links this entire squad — every single one, no cap. Here they all are, exact:
