lpfc_sli4_setup(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to lpfc_sli4_setup(9) from the Kernel API Manual — the NAME is lpfc_sli4_setup, and it's the SLI ring setup function ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int lpfc_sli4_setup (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — pointer to the HBA context object. That's the whole argument list, one and done, main character energy 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the DESCRIPTION text says lpfc_sli_setup (yep, that's the exact name written there) sets up the rings of the SLI interface with the number of iocbs per ring and iotags. This function is called while the driver is attaching to the HBA and before interrupts are enabled — so there is no need for locking, bestie. None. Not even a little.

This function always returns 0. Always. Iconic behavior 💅
