🦋 lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual section and honestly she's giving "quiet little helper that does a lot" energy 💅 no cap, it's a tiny function with a two-part job and a very long friend list. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan — unregister the currently registered FCF and rescan 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

like, that's it. that's the whole call. returning void, bestie — she doesn't report back, she just does 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phba — pointer to the hba context object. that's the whole argument list. one (1) pointer, and it's the main character 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this. the HBA has an FCF registered, right? and this function's first job is literally in the name: it unregisters the currently registered FCF 💀 periodt.

but she doesn't just stop there, because she's an overachiever. the second thing she does is try to find another FCF for discovery by rescanning the HBA FCF table 🧚✨ so it's a "bye to the old one, let's go shopping for a new one" situation, iykyk.

ngl the vibes are very "clean up your room and then immediately start redecorating" and we respect it 🙈

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the friend group is huge, so buckle up bestie, here's the whole group chat 🌈

like I said. huge friend group. every single one of them got an invite 🫶
