STRUCT ZFCP_DBF_REC_RUNNING(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct zfcp_dbf_rec_running(9) β€” Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the kernel API manual, and it's literally about a struct in the Linux kernel β€” ngl, it's giving "small but mighty" energy. It's the trace record for running recovery, and yes, that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct zfcp_dbf_rec_running β€” trace record for running recovery

like, it's the lil snapshot that records a recovery while it's actively running. main character energy fr fr πŸ’«


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct zfcp_dbf_rec_running {
    u64 fsf_req_id;
    u32 rec_status;
    u16 rec_step;
    u8 rec_action;
    u8 rec_count;
 };

there she is 😭 five members, all lined up, all serving exactly what they need to serve. no notes.


πŸ‘‘ Members πŸ‘‘

okay bestie, let's go through each one, one at a time, no skipping, we don't do that here:

  • fsf_req_id β€” the request id for fsf requests. it's the lil name tag so you know which fsf request this is about 🏷️
  • rec_status β€” the status of the fsf request. basically, how's it doing? are we good? are we not? this field knows πŸ’€
  • rec_step β€” the current step of the recovery action. like a progress bar but make it a u16 ⭐
  • rec_action β€” the ERP action type. it's a u8, it's tiny, it's iconic, it tells you what kind of recovery action we're dealing with πŸ¦‹
  • rec_count β€” the number of recoveries including retries for that particular rec_action. so like, how many times have we tried this specific thing, retries and all πŸ‘€
lowkey important: these fields are the only fields, so don't go looking for extras, there are none, the struct said what it said πŸ’…

πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

okay so this is the part where the manpage just lists literally everyone in the group chat, and honestly? respect. it's a whole friend group of zfcp dbf structs and enums, and they all live in the same kernel file, ./drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_dbf.h:

and the kernel file they all call home is ./drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_dbf.h. periodt. πŸ’–


that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 🫢 this one's from ./drivers/s390/scsi, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct zfcp_dbf_rec_running(9) β€” go off, king 🌈✨
