transport_init_session(9)

💫 transport_init_session — okay so you're initializing a session object ✨

Hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual we're in, no big deal, she's iconic) 🌸 — this little page is all about transport_init_session, which literally just sets up a session object for you. Lowkey simple, but you must read the description, k? 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

transport_init_session — initialize a session object 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void transport_init_session (struct se_session *se_sess );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• se_sess — a pointer to the session object. That's it, that's the whole argument, she's not complicated 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea, and it's important so don't skip it 🙈 — the caller must have zero-initialized se_sess before calling this function.

Not "should", not "ideally", not "if you feel like it". Must. So zero it out first, bestie, then call. Do it in that order and you're golden ✨

💀 bestie reminder one more time because it's the only rule here: zero-initialize se_sess first. The whole function depends on it. No cap.

that's the whole page, ily, go zero-init your struct 🧚

Sign-off time, mwah 💋 — this page lives under ./drivers/target and it's dated October 2026, and yes the title in the corner is still transport_init_session(9), we didn't forget her 👑
