📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ qla4xxx_process_aen 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes bestie, the kernel has a manual manual and this is one of its little entries, it's giving very "backstage pass to the driver" energy 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla4xxx_process_aen — processes AENs generated by firmware 🧚

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void qla4xxx_process_aen (struct scsi_qla_host * ha , uint8_t
process_aen );

no cap, that's the whole signature — a void function, so it does the thing and does not hand you anything back 🙈

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • ha — pointer to host adapter structure. like, the actual adapter we're talking about, pointy-point at it bestie 🫶
  • process_aen — type of AENs to process. it's literally the "which flavour of AEN do you want" parameter, main character of the decision-making 🌈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Processes specific types of Asynchronous Events generated by firmware ✨. not all of them, not random ones — the specific ones you asked for, because you picked a type.

The type of AENs to process is specified by process_aen and can be 💅:

PROCESS_ALL_AENS         0 FLUSH_DDB_CHANGED_AENS   1
RELOGIN_DDB_CHANGED_AENS 2

that's it, that's the list — three vibes, 0, 1, and 2, and yes they're right there next to their names so you can't get it twisted 😤
