lpfc_sli4_fcf_record_match(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the lpfc_sli4_fcf_record_match(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, we’re doing kernel FCF record matching today, and honestly? iconic behavior 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_sli4_fcf_record_match - testing new FCF record for matching existing FCF

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here’s the signature, bestie — copy it exactly, spacing and all, no “fixing” the punctuation:

bool lpfc_sli4_fcf_record_match (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct
       lpfc_fcf_rec *fcf_rec , struct fcf_record *new_fcf_record , uint16_t
       new_vlan_id );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure. main-character pointer energy, honestly.
• fcf_rec — pointer to an existing FCF record.
• new_fcf_record — pointer to a new FCF record.
• new_vlan_id — vlan id from the new FCF record.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function performs matching test of a new FCF record against an existing FCF record. like a vibe check, but make it FCF records 🫶

If the new_vlan_id passed in is LPFC_FCOE_IGNORE_VID, then vlan id will not be used as part of the FCF record matching criteria — it’s lowkey sitting that round out 💅

It returns true if all the fields matching, otherwise returns false. no cap: all fields or nothing 😭🔥
