hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat 🫶 this page is all about qla4_83xx_eport_init, and it is giving tiny-but-important kernel function energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla4_83xx_eport_init — Initialize EPort. periodt ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void qla4_83xx_eport_init (struct scsi_qla_host *ha );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ha — pointer to host adapter structure. that's the one and only arg, bestie 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the vibe check: if EPort hardware is in reset state before disabling pause, there would be serious hardware wedging issues. 😭 like, not cute at all.

to prevent this, perform eport init everytime before disabling pause frames. literally every single time, no skipping 👑✨

bestie please don't freestyle this order: eport init first, then disable pause frames. the hardware wedging is the thing we are avoiding 💀
