lpfc_poll_start_timer(9)

💅 lpfc_poll_start_timer(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_poll_start_timer(9) — manual name folded in near the top like a little name tag 🫶. This one is short, sweet, and extremely specific. Let's get into it.

💖 NAME 💖

lpfc_poll_start_timer — routine to start the fcp_poll_timer of an HBA. That's the whole name-and-purpose combo, and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_poll_start_timer (struct lpfc_hba * phba );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — the HBA for which this call is being executed. It's the main character of this particular timer-starting moment 👑.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, this routine starts the fcp_poll_timer of phba. That's literally it — it gets the fcp_poll_timer going for that HBA, and then it's done. No extra lore, no secret side quest. Periodt. ✨
