lpfc_nvme_create_localport(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Hey bestie! Welcome to the lpfc_nvme_create_localport(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ This one is all about creating/binding an nvme localport instance. That's the whole mood. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int lpfc_nvme_create_localport (struct lpfc_vport *vport );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vport — the lpfc_vport instance requesting a localport. It's giving "please make me a localport" energy. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this routine is invoked to create an nvme localport instance to bind to the nvme_fc_transport. It's called once during driver load, like lpfc_create_shost, after all the other services are initialized. No cap. 🫶

At call time it requires a vport, vpi, and wwns. The other localport parameters get modified as the driver's FCID and the Fabric WWN are established. Slay, but those requirements are real, okay? 😭

Return codes, bestie:

• 0 — successful. Iconic. ✨
• -ENOMEM — no heap memory available. Not the vibe. 💀
• other values — from nvme registration upcall. iykyk. 🙈
