- * __lpfc_set_rrq_active - set RRQ active bit in the ndlp's xri_bitmap.

- * @ndlp: nodelist pointer for this target.
- * @xritag: xri used in this exchange.
- * @rxid: Remote Exchange ID.
- * @send_rrq: Flag used to determine if we should send rrq els cmd.
- *
- * This function is called with hbalock held.
- * The active bit is set in the ndlp's active rrq xri_bitmap. Allocates an
- * rrq struct and adds it to the active_rrq_list.
- *
- * returns  0 for rrq slot for this xri
- *         < 0  Were not able to get rrq mem or invalid parameter.
