💅 lpfc_reset_flush_io_context(9)

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a kernel-function page — no cap. Here we go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_reset_flush_io_context — the little cleanup goblin that flushes orphaned i/o contexts off the adapter after a reset 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int lpfc_reset_flush_io_context (struct lpfc_vport *vport , uint16_t
       tgt_id , uint64_t lun_id , lpfc_ctx_cmd context );

literally that's the whole signature, copy it exactly please, don't be quirky with it 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vport — the virtual port (aka the scsi_host) that we're flushing the context for 🦋
  • tgt_id — if you're aborting by Target context, this is where you say which target id 🔥
  • lun_id — if you're aborting by Lun context, this is where you drop the lun id ⭐
  • context — specifies the context level to flush at 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so after a reset condition comes through via TMF, we gotta flush the orphaned i/o contexts out of the adapter. that's the whole vibe of this routine: it aborts any contexts that are still outstanding, then it waits for their completions to come back 😭

but the wait is bounded by devloss_tmo though — so it's not gonna sit there waiting forever like it's in its feels. it's got a timeout, periodt 💀

Return code: 0x2003 - Error, 0x2002 - Success 🌈

ok so heads up, the error number is the bigger one here (0x2003) and success is 0x2002. that's literally what the page says, so don't come for me 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
