✨ qla4xxx_remove_failed_ddb(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's a little kernel helper from the SCSI qla4xxx driver world, and honestly? it's giving "janitor energy but make it iconic" 🧹✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla4xxx_remove_failed_ddb — remove inactive or failed ddb from list 🗑️💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void qla4xxx_remove_failed_ddb (struct scsi_qla_host *ha , struct list_head *list_ddb );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ha — pointer to adapter structure 🫶 (the main character adapter, obviously)
• list_ddb — the list from which the failed ddb is to be removed 💅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what it does is: it iterates over the list of DDBs 🔁 and then finds and removes the DDBs that are either in no connection active state or in failed state 💀✨ literally a vibe check for DDBs — if you're not connecting and you're not thriving, you're getting yeeted from the list, periodt 🗑️👑
