lpfc_sli_hba_setup(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_sli_hba_setup(9) — literally the SLI initialization function. we are keeping every single technical crumb, just with way better vibes. 💅

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

the signature, exactly as it appears — yes, including the spaces:

int lpfc_sli_hba_setup (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — pointer to the HBA context object. that's the whole argument list, bestie. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so lpfc_sli_hba_setup is the main SLI initialization function. it gets called by the HBA initialization code, the HBA reset code, and the HBA error attention handler code. important vibe check: the caller is not required to hold any locks.

this function issues the config_port mailbox command to configure the SLI, sets up the iocb rings and the HBQ rings. at the end, it calls the config_port_post function to issue the init_link mailbox command and to start the discovery. and the return tea: it returns zero if successful, otherwise it returns a negative error code. 🔥

🚨 lock check: caller is not required to hold any locks — that is the actual rule, bestie.
