lpfc_read_fcf_conn_tbl(9)

💅 lpfc_read_fcf_conn_tbl(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 🎀

Okay so picture this: we're deep in the lpfc kernel API manual, section 9, and the star of the show is lpfc_read_fcf_conn_tbl. No cap, this little function is out here building driver-side connection tables, and you're gonna understand it. Periodt. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_read_fcf_conn_tbl — literally the one that creates the driver FCF connection table. That's it, that's the job. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void lpfc_read_fcf_conn_tbl (struct lpfc_hba *phba , uint8_t *buff );

It returns void, so like… nothing comes back out. It just does the thing. Very main character energy tbh. 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• phba — pointer to the hba context object. Yep, the whole HBA's context, she's holding it down. 🫶
• buff — the buffer containing the FCF connection table, exactly as it lives in the config region. This function creates the driver data structure for the FCF connection record table that got read from config region 23. Config region 23, bestie — write it down. 📝

Okay that's the whole page, mwah, go be iconic with your FCF connection tables. 🧚‍♀️🌈🍓
