lpfc_stop_vport_timers(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie 💅 you just opened lpfc_stop_vport_timers(9) and yes, she's serving straight from the Kernel API Manual. Short page, elite function, let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_stop_vport_timers — stop all the timers associated with a vport ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_stop_vport_timers (struct lpfc_vport *vport );

that's the whole signature, no cap: it returns void, takes exactly one pointer, and it is not here to chat 🫶

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • vport — pointer to a virtual N_Port data structure. that's the entire guest list, bestie.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: this routine stops all the timers associated with a vport. every single one of them. the way she just rounds up the whole timer friend group and sends them home 😭🫶

timing check, because context is everything: this function is invoked before disabling or deleting a vport — like, the timers get stopped before the disabling/deleting happens. that's the sequence, iykyk.

and a tiny iconic detail that people forget: the physical port is treated as vport 0. so when you're like "wait, which vport is the physical one?" — boom, vport 0. noted. remembered. slayed 💅

real talk: it's a void function. it doesn't hand anything back to you, it just does its little timer-stopping thing and exits. main character behavior fr fr ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

kernel file: ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_init.c — and omg the friend group here is huge. like, every one of these cuties is in the same orbit 💀

that's the whole group chat, bestie 💀🫶

xoxo, your local Unix bestie 🎀 — this page lives in ./drivers/scsi/lpfc, and the date vibes are October 2026. periodt. 💜
