lpfc_sli_rsp_pointers_error(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this page is lpfc_sli_rsp_pointers_error(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the Response ring pointer error handler. that's the whole vibe, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_sli_rsp_pointers_error (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct
lpfc_sli_ring *pring );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — Pointer to HBA context object. 🫶
  • pring — Pointer to driver SLI ring object. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: this function gets called from the iocb ring event handlers when the put pointer is ahead of the get pointer for a ring. that's the trigger, bestie. 🌀

when that happens, this function signals an error attention condition to the worker thread, and the worker thread will transition the HBA to offline state. so yeah — the worker thread is the one doing the offline transition after it gets that error attention condition. 💀

no cap: put pointer ahead of get pointer = error attention condition goes to the worker thread = HBA goes offline. that's the whole chain. 🌸

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file in question is ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c — and the whole related-API group chat is right here, all exact, all still (9), periodt:

mwah 💋 this page comes from ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026, and it's literally the lpfc_sli_rsp_pointers_error(9) page. byeeee 🫶🎀
