qla4xxx_wait...esp_boot_tgt(9)

✨ qla4xxx_wait_login_resp_boot_tgt ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this one's a lil function from the qla4xxx corner of the kernel, and it's honestly giving "waiting for your friend to text back" energy. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla4xxx_wait_login_resp_boot_tgt — literally just: wait for the iSCSI boot target login response. That's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void qla4xxx_wait_login_resp_boot_tgt (struct scsi_qla_host *ha );

no cap, that's the entire signature. returns nothing, takes one thing. iconic minimalism ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ha — pointer to the adapter structure. that's your main character right there 👑

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so picture this: when the boot entry is a normal iSCSI target, then the DF_BOOT_TGT flag gets set in the DDB — yes, that's a thing, iykyk — and then we wait for the login response of the boot targets while we're in probe. 🧚

so basically it's the function that sits there like "bestie… are you logging in or not 😭" during probe, all because DF_BOOT_TGT is set. fr fr that's it, that's the job.

not me being a whole kernel thread about somebody else's login response 🙈 but that's the task and it ate 💀
