💖 lpfc_sli4_fc...c_mbox_parse(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_sli4_fc...c_mbox_parse(9) — yes the title is a little cursed, but the function inside is lpfc_sli4_fcf_rec_mbox_parse, and she is lowkey doing important FCF record work. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_sli4_fcf_rec_mbox_parse — parse the read_fcf mbox command. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct fcf_record * lpfc_sli4_fcf_rec_mbox_parse (struct lpfc_hba *phba
, LPFC_MBOXQ_t *mboxq , uint16_t *next_fcf_index );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• phba — pointer to the lpfc_hba data structure. this is the hba bestie in question 🫶
• mboxq — pointer to the mailbox object. iconic mailbox behavior ✨
• next_fcf_index — pointer to the holder of the next fcf index. she holds the next index, periodt 💜

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this routine parses the non-embedded fcf mailbox command. the way it does that? it performs the necessary error checking, does non-embedded read FCF record mailbox command SGE parsing, and handles the endianness swapping. literally the full little pipeline 💅

on success, it returns the pointer to the new FCF record in the non-embedded mailbox command DMA memory. otherwise? NULL. that's the vibe check 😭
