STRUCT BNX2I_CONN(9)

✨ struct bnx2i_conn(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct bnx2i_conn — it's giving kernel-doc, it's giving SCSI, it's giving "my driver has a lot of pointers" 💅

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

struct bnx2i_conn — the iscsi connection structure, no cap, that's literally what it is 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct bnx2i_conn {
    struct iscsi_cls_conn *cls_conn;
    struct bnx2i_hba *hba;
    struct completion cmd_cleanup_cmpl;
    u32 iscsi_conn_cid;
  #define BNX2I_CID_RESERVED      0x5AFF;
    u32 fw_cid;
    struct timer_list poll_timer;
    struct bnx2i_endpoint *ep;
    struct generic_pdu_resc gen_pdu;
    u64 violation_notified;
    atomic_t work_cnt;
 };

like, look at her. main character struct energy 👑

🎀 Members 🎀

• cls_conn — a pointer to the iscsi cls conn, lowkey just pointing at her own paperwork 💖
• hba — adapter structure pointer, the host bus adapter in question ✨
• iscsi_conn_cid — the iscsi conn id, her little ID badge 🪪
• fw_cid — firmware iscsi context id, the firmware's own copy of the badge, twin energy fr fr 🧚
• ep — endpoint structure pointer, we love a good endpoint moment 🌈
• gen_pdu — the login/nopout/logout pdu resources, like a little snack pack for those three dudes 🍓
• violation_notified — a bit mask used to track iscsi error/warning messages that were already printed out, so we don't spam the log like a certain group chat 💀
• work_cnt — keeps track of the number of outstanding work, she's counting, she's watching, she's an atomic_t 👀

ngl, the struct also carries cmd_cleanup_cmpl, poll_timer, and the #define BNX2I_CID_RESERVED 0x5AFF — they're right there in the synopsis, so don't act surprised 💅

⭐ Description ⭐

iSCSI connection structure. that's it, that's the description, she's iconic and she's brief 😌
