💅 lpfc_nvme_ls_abort — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 💅

okay bestie, buckle up, because this one is short but it's important — it's lpfc_nvme_ls_abort(9), and it lives in the kernel API manual. yeah. we're doing kernel docs today. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_nvme_ls_abort — literally just: abort a prior NVME LS request. that's the whole vibe. one job. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void lpfc_nvme_ls_abort (struct nvme_fc_local_port *pnvme_lport , struct
       nvme_fc_remote_port *pnvme_rport , struct nvmefc_ls_req *pnvme_lsreq );

three pointers in, void out. she takes and she gives nothing back. main character energy fr fr. 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pnvme_lport — the transport localport that the LS is gonna be issued from. like, where she's calling from. 📍
  • pnvme_rport — the transport remoteport the LS is being sent to. where she's calling to. 📞
  • pnvme_lsreq — the transport nvme_ls_req structure for the LS. the actual request object itself, the little guy in question. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the driver registers this routine to abort an NVME LS request that's currently in progress — and yes, that's "in progress from the transport's perspective", which is a very important little qualifier, ngl. don't @ me. your fav driver just filed the paperwork to cancel a request that's still mid-flight. no cap. ✈️💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_nvme.c — that's the home base, bestie — plus the whole friend group:

that's twenty of them. twenty!! a whole squad. go read them too, iykyk. 👑

lowkey reminder: this is kernel territory, so if you're poking at aborts you're probably already deep in it. drink some water. 💧

okay that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 — and before you go, the little footer receipts so you know where this came from: it's filed under ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026, and it's the lpfc_nvme_ls_abort(9) page, periodt. 🧚‍♀️✨
