zfcp_erp_thread_kill(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

zfcp_erp_thread_kill(9) — fresh off the Kernel API Manual press, and honestly? she's a short one but she ATE. 💅 let's get into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

zfcp_erp_thread_kill — stop the ERP thread. that's the whole job description, bestie, no notes. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void zfcp_erp_thread_kill (struct zfcp_adapter *adapter );

like, that's it. one function, one arg, returns <italic>void</italic> because it gives you nothing back and expects you to be okay with that. 💜

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter — the adapter where the ERP thread should be stopped. that's the one you're putting out of its misery. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the thing, and this is important: the caller of this routine ensures that the specified adapter has been shut down and that this operation has been completed.

read that again. the caller does that. not this function. this is not a "handle it for me" situation. 🫠

and because of that guarantee, there are no pending erp_actions which would need to be handled here. none. zero. the queue is empty, the vibe is immaculate, and this function can just do its little shutdown and dip. ✌️

highkey a "your responsibility, not mine" situation and I respect it fr fr. do the shutdown, wait for it to finish, and only then come knock on this door. 🙈
