STRUCT FCOE_RPORT(9)

✨ struct fcoe_rport(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about struct fcoe_rport — the VN2VN remote port 🦋 bestie, we're in libfc/FCoE land now, and it's giving very much "niche but iconic" iykyk 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct fcoe_rport — VN2VN remote port. that's it, that's the whole vibe. one struct, one purpose, no cap ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the whole layout, copied exactly because we do not freestyle struct definitions in this house 🫶

struct fcoe_rport {
    struct fc_rport_priv rdata;
    unsigned long time;
    u16 fcoe_len;
    u16 flags;
    u8 login_count;
    u8 enode_mac[ETH_ALEN];
    u8 vn_mac[ETH_ALEN];
 };

👑 Members 👑

okay so every field gets its moment, bestie. no skipping, no summarising, we're doing all seven 🌈

• rdata — libfc remote port private data. like, the actual libfc payload living rent-free inside this thing 💜
• time — time of create, or the time of the last beacon packet received from the node. so it's either a birthday or a "last seen" timestamp, main character energy either way ⭐
• fcoe_len — max FCoE frame size — and note bestie, this does not include the VLAN or Ethernet headers. those are separate, don't come for this field 🙈
• flags — flags that came from probe or claim 🔥
• login_count — number of unsuccessful rport logins to this port. yes, we're counting the L's. it's giving sad but necessary 😭
• enode_mac — E_Node control MAC address 🎀
• vn_mac — VN_Node assigned MAC address, used for data 👑

ngl bestie, if you're poking at VN2VN remote ports you're already kind of a legend, so like… slay? 💅✨

and that's the page! it lives at ./include/scsi, dated October 2026 — periodt, go touch some FCoE 🦋🍓
