lpfc_request_features(9)

💖 lpfc_request_features(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the lpfc_request_features page from the Kernel API Manual — yes it's a real one and yes it's lowkey iconic. we're configuring an SLI4 REQUEST_FEATURES mailbox and honestly it's giving main character energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_request_features (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct lpfcMboxq *mboxq );

like, that's the whole signature. short and slay. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — pointer to the lpfc hba data structure. that's your host bus adapter bestie, she's the whole vibe 🌸
• mboxq — pointer to the lpfc mbox command. this is the mailbox command we're about to set up, no cap 💌

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this routine sets up the mailbox for an SLI4 REQUEST_FEATURES mailbox command. that's literally the whole job. it's the "get the mailbox ready for the SLI4 REQUEST_FEATURES cmd" routine, and it does exactly that. periodt ✨

ngl it's a small function but every mailbox baddie has her moment 💅
