lpfc_wq_create(9)

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_wq_create - Create a Work Queue on the HBA. Okay bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and the function name is exactly lpfc_wq_create, no cap 💅.

🛠 SYNOPSIS 🛠

The signature, untouched, because we do not mess with C syntax:

int lpfc_wq_create (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct lpfc_queue *wq ,
       struct lpfc_queue *cq , uint32_t subtype );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phba — the HBA structure that indicates the port to create a queue on 🫶.
• wq — the queue structure to use to create the work queue ✨.
• cq — the completion queue to bind this work queue to 🔗.
• subtype — the subtype of the work queue indicating its functionality 🏷️.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this function creates a work queue, as detailed in wq, on a port described by phba, by sending a WQ_CREATE mailbox command to the HBA. That is literally the whole mission, and it is iconic 🎀.

The phba struct is used to send mailbox command to HBA. The wq struct is used to get the entry count and entry size that are necessary to determine the number of pages to allocate and use for this queue. The cq is used to indicate which completion queue to bind this work queue to. This function will send the WQ_CREATE mailbox command to the HBA to setup the work queue. This function is asynchronous and will wait for the mailbox command to finish before continuing. Yes bestie, asynchronous but still waiting — that is the vibe check, fr fr 🦋.

On success this function will return a zero. If unable to allocate enough memory this function will return -ENOMEM. If the queue create mailbox command fails this function will return -ENXIO. Keep those return values close, because they are giving main character energy 😭💜.
