lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find β€” like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: it's a Kernel API Manual page (that's the manual name, noted πŸ“) and the star of the show is lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find(9). she's a little function with one very specific job. let's get into it πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find β€” find the hbq buffer associated with a tag 🎯

like... you give her a tag, she finds the buffer. that's it. that's the whole vibe.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct hbq_dmabuf * lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find (struct lpfc_hba *phba ,
uint32_t tag );

bestie look at her. returns a struct hbq_dmabuf *, takes a struct lpfc_hba *phba and a uint32_t tag. iconic signature, no notes 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • phba β€” pointer to the HBA context object. literally the whole context, she needs it to function 😌
  • tag β€” the tag of the hbq buffer. this is the glow-up receipt you're searching for 🧾✨

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea β˜• β€” this function goes digging through the hbq buffer list looking for the hbq buffer that's associated with the tag you handed her.

the way she works it: search the list, find the matching hbq buffer, and if it's there? she returns hbq_buffer, periodt πŸ’…. if it's not there? she returns NULL. no drama, no guessing, just NULL. 😭

so like β€” found = hbq_buffer, not found = NULL. that's the whole energy check πŸ”₯


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file in question is ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c β€” and she has so many friends, ngl, this list is giving main character energy πŸ‘‘ i'm listing every single one bc we don't skip anybody in this house πŸ’œ


that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left absolutely no crumbs πŸ“πŸ’…

~ cute sign-off time ~ this lil masterpiece lives over in ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026, and it's page lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find(9) of the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go find those buffers πŸŽ€πŸ’–
