lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait(9)

💖 lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait(9) 💖

okay so real talk: this one's a Kernel API Manual page, and it's all about one tiny little completion handler. short page, huge SEE ALSO, we love a lopsided queen 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait — the mbox completion handler for lpfc_sli_issue_mbox_wait (yes, the name is a whole mouthful, iykyk)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait (struct lpfc_hba *phba , LPFC_MBOXQ_t
*pmboxq );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — pointer to the HBA context object. your main character struct, honestly.
• pmboxq — pointer to the mailbox command. the mbox in question 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay bestie, listen. this is the completion handler function for mailbox commands that got issued from lpfc_sli_issue_mbox_wait. so basically the wait-y one sends it out, and this function shows up at the end like "hi bestie i'm back ✨".

the mailbox event handler function calls it with no lock held — like, zero locks, not a single one, we're free and unbothered 💀.

and what does it actually do? it wakes up the thread that's waiting on the wait queue pointed to by context1 of the mailbox. that's it. that's the whole job. wake the thread, collect the glory, exit. periodt 👑

ngl this is one of those functions where the description is longer than the function. no cap.

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

okay so this list is iconic in the "absolutely enormous" sense, and i'm not skipping a single one of them because every single reference matters. it's all in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c 🫶
