STRUCT FCOE_PORT(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so, from the Kernel API Manual, this is struct fcoe_port — the FCoE private structure, bestie. That’s the whole vibe: it’s the private struct for FCoE, and yes, it’s iconic. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct fcoe_port {
           void *priv;
           struct fc_lport       *lport;
           struct sk_buff_head   fcoe_pending_queue;
           u8 fcoe_pending_queue_active;
           u32 max_queue_depth;
           u32 min_queue_depth;
           struct timer_list     timer;
           struct work_struct    destroy_work;
           u8 data_src_addr[ETH_ALEN];
           struct net_device * (*get_netdev)(const struct fc_lport *lport);
        };

💅 Members 💅

• priv — the associated fcoe interface. The structure is defined by the low level driver. 🫶
• lport — the associated local port.
• fcoe_pending_queue — the pending Rx queue of skbs. Literally the skb waiting room. 😭
• fcoe_pending_queue_active — indicates if the pending queue is active.
• max_queue_depth — max queue depth of pending queue.
• min_queue_depth — min queue depth of pending queue.
• timer — the queue timer. ⏰
• destroy_work — handle for work context (to prevent RTNL deadlocks). Important little anti-deadlock icon.
• data_src_addr — source address for data.
• get_netdev — function that returns a net_device from lport.

🦋 Description 🦋

An instance of this structure is to be allocated along with the Scsi_Host and libfc fc_lport structures. That’s the tea. ☕
