💖 nvmf_connect_admin_queue(9) — NVMe Fabrics Admin Queue "Connect" API function 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for nvmf_connect_admin_queue(9) — yes, that whole mouthful is the manual name. This is the function handling the NVMe Fabrics Admin Queue "Connect" situation, and we're gonna get you comfy with it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvmf_connect_admin_queue — NVMe Fabrics Admin Queue "Connect" API function. That's the whole name, and it's lowkey iconic.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int nvmf_connect_admin_queue (struct nvme_ctrl *ctrl );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ctrl — this is the host nvme controller instance. It's the one used to request a new NVMe controller allocation on the target system and establish an NVMe Admin connection to that controller. Basically the main character of this call. 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the vibe: this function lets an NVMe host device request a new allocation of an NVMe controller resource on a target system. It also establishes a fabrics-protocol connection of the NVMe Admin queue between the host system device and the allocated NVMe controller on the target system — and it does that via a NVMe Fabrics "Connect" command. No cap, that's the whole glow-up. 🫶
