lpfc_retry_pport_discovery(9)

💅 lpfc_retry_pport_discovery(9)

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and bestie… it's a little one but it's doing something. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_retry_pport_discovery — start timer to retry FLOGI. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ⏰

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lpfc_retry_pport_discovery (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

like, it returns nothing (void, queen of not giving anything back) and it takes exactly one thing. no cap. 💜

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — pointer to lpfc_hba data structure. that's the hba struct, she's the main character here obviously 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: there are pending discovery commands just… sitting there. this routine aborts all of them 💀 like, all pending discovery commands, gone, bye.

and then? it starts a timer ⏰ to retry FLOGI for the physical port discovery. so it's not giving up, it's giving "let me reset and come back stronger" energy. that's the whole flex. ✨

like i said. connected. the group chat is huge and everyone is invited 🧚

fr fr the only thing this page promises is the abort-plus-timer combo and the FLOGI retry for physical port discovery — don't go inventing extra behavior, bestie 🙈

okay that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 this one came from ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, it's dated October 2026, and it's filed under lpfc_retry_pport_discovery(9). slay, go retry that discovery 🍓✨
