And ^here you're again handling the device's parent - it's !existence and
perform some further parent device validation in the already existing hunk
below. Would it make more sense to first verify the device whether it's a vHBA,
if not then throw an error and then, if @parent_name wasn't supplied, return
successfully otherwise do both the parent existence check and validation, both
in a large "else" block. The checks make sense and work as described, I just
find it more understandable - the logic would be IMHO more continuous, as
opposed "scattered" (is that even the right term for this? But I think you get
the picture...)
if (scsi_host_name is vport capable)
# it's an HBA
error
return failure
if (!parent_name)
# no parent to validate
return success
else
if (parent doesn't exist)
error - not an fc_host
return failure
if (provided_parent != actual_parent)
error - invalid parent
return failure
return success
