🎀 NAME 🎀

mpt3sas_get_port_by_id — bestie, this is the function that grabs you the hba port entry matching the port number you handed it, pulled straight out of the port list 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct hba_port * mpt3sas_get_port_by_id (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc ,
u8 port_id , u8 bypass_dirty_port_flag );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • ioc — the per adapter object, aka the whole vibe of the adapter you're poking at 🫶
  • port_id — the port number. literally just the port number, no cap 🔢
  • bypass_dirty_port_flag — when this is set, it looks for the matching hba port entry even if that hba port entry is marked as dirty 🙈 like, it'll still go get it for you

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: it searches for the hba port entry that corresponds to the port number you provided. If one's available, it returns the port object 💖 If not… it returns NULL 😭 that's it, that's the whole function, iconic behaviour honestly.
