📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 lpfc_sli4_fcf_redisc_event_proc ✨

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space girlies only 🫶) and it's about one very specific little function in the lpfc driver. it's giving "small but crucial supporting character" energy, and honestly? we stan. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_sli4_fcf_redisc_event_proc — process fcf table rediscovery event 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_sli4_fcf_redisc_event_proc (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

that's it. one function, one argument, no return value, no drama. ~~well, a little drama, it's kernel code~~ 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — pointer to lpfc hba data structure. literally just the hba's whole personality in one pointer, she carries everything 👜

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, here's the vibe: this routine is invoked by the worker thread to process the FCF table rediscovery pending completion event. 👑

so like — the worker thread wakes up, sees there's a rediscovery that's been pending, and calls this to handle the completion. that's the whole job. she's not the one starting the rediscovery, she's the one handling the "okay it's done / it's finally come through" moment. main character energy in a supporting-role kind of way. no cap. 💅

ngl it's a small function but the way it sits in that event pipeline? iconic. ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the file itself: ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_init.c — that's home base 🏠

and now… the entire extended friend group. every single one. i did not skip a single name because that would be rude and also wrong 🙈

like… the whole roster. every single one showed up to the group chat. 👑💖

quick reminder bestie: this is a driver-internal routine in drivers/scsi/lpfc — it's not a thing you call from userspace, it's the kernel's business, not ours 🙈

and that's the page!! source is ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026, page title lpfc_sli4_f...c_event_proc(9) — mwah, go read the rest of the lpfc saga, ily, bye 🎀💜✨
