STRUCT FC_RPORT_LIBFC_PRIV(9)

✨ struct fc_rport_libfc_priv(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about struct fc_rport_libfc_priv — which is literally the libfc internal info about a remote port 💫 bestie, this is the behind-the-scenes lore, the private stash of deets the kernel keeps about a remote port. not the public-facing stuff, the internal internal. iykyk 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct fc_rport_libfc_priv — libfc internal information about a remote port 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, here's the whole shape of it, no cap, copy it exactly:

struct fc_rport_libfc_priv {
    struct fc_lport            *local_port;
    enum fc_rport_state        rp_state;
    u16 flags;
  #define FC_RP_FLAGS_REC_SUPPORTED       (1 << 0);
  #define FC_RP_FLAGS_RETRY               (1 << 1);
  #define FC_RP_STARTED                   (1 << 2);
  #define FC_RP_FLAGS_CONF_REQ            (1 << 3);
    unsigned int               e_d_tov;
    unsigned int               r_a_tov;
 };

look at those four #defines living right up in the middle of the struct, iconic behavior honestly 👑

🦋 Members 🦋

• local_port — the local port that's associated with this one, like its little buddy 🤝
• rp_state — tells you it's READY for I/O, or DELETE when it's blocked 🙈
• flags — the REC and RETRY supported flags, the little boolean vibes 🚩
• e_d_tov — error detect timeout value, measured in msec ⏱️
• r_a_tov — resource allocation timeout value, also in msec ⏱️

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 💖 ok so the cute little sign-off: this came out of ./include/scsi and it's dated October 2026 — yeah, the future, main character energy ⭐ — and it's filed under struct fc_rport_libfc_priv(9). slay 🎀✨🦋
