📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 lpfc_scsi_prep_cmnd_buf_s4(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, buckle up 🎀 this one lives in the kernel's Kernel API Manual and it's all about getting a SLI-4 WQE ready for an IO. like, the actual prepping. the glow-up before the big night. let's go 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_scsi_prep_cmnd_buf_s4 — literally the SLI-4 WQE init for the IO ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lpfc_scsi_prep_cmnd_buf_s4 (struct lpfc_vport *vport , struct
lpfc_io_buf *lpfc_cmd , uint8_t tmo );

periodt. that's the whole signature, no notes 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vport — a pointer to the vport object, bestie. that's your entry point 🫶
  • lpfc_cmd — the scsi buffer that is going to get prep'ed. yes, prep'ed. it's getting the full treatment ✨
  • tmo — the timeout value for the IO. uint8_t core, keeping it cute and small ⏰

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the vibe: based on the data-direction of the command, it copies the WQE template over into the I/O buffer WQE. then it fills in all the WQE fields that are independent of the scsi buffer — like, the stuff that doesn't care which scsi buffer it's working with. lowkey satisfying ngl 🌈

RETURNS 0 - SUCCESS, 👑

no cap, 0 is the success value here. that's the whole returns situation. slay.
