qla_logio_set_vp_index(9)

💅 qla_logio_set_vp_index — kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the function we're stanning is qla_logio_set_vp_index. she's a lil one. she's an icon. she writes a vp_index into a login/logout IOCB and dips. periodt. ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

qla_logio_set_vp_index — write vp_index into a login/logout IOCB.

like literally that's her whole job and she does it flawlessly, no notes 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qla_logio_set_vp_index (struct qla_hw_data *ha , void *pkt , u16
vp_idx );

three args, void return, no drama. she takes what she takes and she gives nothing back (affectionately) 💜

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ha — HBA pointer. the homegirl herself. 🏠
• pkt — logio IOCB, and it's giving either logio_entry_24xx or logio_entry_24xx_ext, iykyk 👀
• vp_idx — virtual port index. the star of the show, the main character energy of this whole function honestly 👑

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the vibe check that actually matters: vp_index widens from u8 on logio_entry_24xx all the way up to __le16 on logio_entry_24xx_ext on 29xx. so this function's whole flex is writing that field at the right width for whichever struct she got handed.

not me being obsessed with a width-correct field write 😭 but fr fr that's the assignment and she ate 💅
