✨ NAME ✨

struct nvme_firmware_slot β€” the Firmware Slot Information Log, bestie πŸ’–

okay so real talk: this is the lil' struct that holds the firmware slot info log. it's not doing the most, it's just vibing and holding data. but every field matters, so let's get into it 🫢


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct nvme_firmware_slot {
    __u8 afi;
    __u8 rsvd1[7];
    char frs[7][8];
    __u8 rsvd2[448];
 };

like... look at her. so compact. so demure. πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • afi β€” Active Firmware Info πŸ‘‘ this is the field that tells you which firmware is, like, the one. the main character.
  • rsvd1 β€” Reserved πŸ™ˆ not for you. do not perceive it. it's just sitting there, holding space (literally).
  • frs β€” Firmware Revision for Slot πŸ’… this is the Firmware Revision for Slot, and she is structured: [7][8] means seven slots, eight characters each. one slot per row, one revision string per slot. iconic.
  • rsvd2 β€” Reserved πŸ’€ yeah it's reserved again. 448 bytes of it. she's big, she's reserved, she's not gonna be doing anything. periodt.

ngl the reserved fields are giving "don't touch, don't ask" energy. that's the whole vibe check. you read the log, you check afi and frs, you leave the rsvd1 and rsvd2 alone. no cap. ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie!! no crumbs left. every field, every byte count, every reserved lil' mystery β€” all accounted for. πŸ“
