lpfc_stop_hba_timers(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

Okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie — this is lpfc_stop_hba_timers, and it does exactly one thing but it does it iconically: stop all the timers associated with an HBA. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_stop_hba_timers (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • phba — pointer to the lpfc hba data structure. Your main character, basically. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea ☕ — this routine stops all the timers associated with a HBA. All of them. Every last one. It's giving "closing time at the function" energy and honestly? Slay.

And when does it get called? Two moments, and they're both big ones:

  • it's invoked before putting a HBA offline, and
  • it's invoked before unloading the driver.

So yeah — it's the cleanup-your-room-before-you-leave-the-house function. Ngl, kind of a responsible queen. 💖

That's the whole friend group, no gatekeeping 💜

And that's a wrap, bestie — this page lives in ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, dated October 2026 (yes, future queen behavior ⭐), and it's filed under lpfc_stop_hba_timers(9). Go stop some timers, you've got this 🦋✨
