lpfc_sli4_init_vpi(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today’s main character is lpfc_sli4_init_vpi(9). lpfc_sli4_init_vpi initializes a vpi with the port. That’s the whole vibe, no cap. 💅

---

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

int lpfc_sli4_init_vpi (struct lpfc_vport *vport );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vport — a pointer to the vport for which the vpi is being initialized. That’s the assignment, bestie. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This routine is invoked to activate a vpi with the port. Like, it gets called and the vpi gets activated with the port — iconic behavior fr fr. ✨

---

🎀 RETURN 🎀

0 for success, and -Evalue otherwise. periodt. 💫
