qla2x00_fdmi_rhba(9)

💫 qla2x00_fdmi_rhba(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed 💫

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're diving into a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? It's short but it matters. This is qla2x00_fdmi_rhba, and it's giving "quiet little function that does one very specific thing." Main character energy, lowkey.

✨ NAME ✨

qla2x00_fdmi_rhba — perform RHBA FDMI registration 🎀

Like, that's it. That's the whole vibe. It performs the RHBA FDMI registration. Periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int qla2x00_fdmi_rhba (scsi_qla_host_t *vha , unsigned int callopt );

So it returns an int (spoiler: it's 0 on success, more on that in a sec), and it takes two things. Two! That's it. Very low-maintenance. 🦋

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• vha — the HA context, aka your host adapter's whole situation. This is the scsi_qla_host_t * pointer, the star of the show, the one holding all the context. 👑
• callopt — an unsigned int that's the option to issue FDMI registration. It's literally labeled "Option to issue FDMI registration," so like, that's what it is. You pick your option, it registers. Slay.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Okay so here's the whole deal: it returns 0 on success. That's it. That's the description. No cap.

Yes, the entire DESCRIPTION section is one sentence, and honestly? Respect. Some functions write a whole essay, this one just says "returns 0 on success" and leaves. Iconic behavior, honestly. 💅

ngl bestie, don't read more into it than what's there — the only documented behavior is that 0 return on success. That's the vibe check and it passed.

Alright, this section is long, so buckle up. Everything here lives in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_gs.c, and the cross-references are, uh, extensive. Not me listing all of them, but also literally me listing all of them because I keep every detail. 💖
