ice_hw_to_dev(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for ice_hw_to_dev(9), and it is literally the tiny helper with main character energy: get device pointer from the hardware structure. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct device * ice_hw_to_dev (struct ice_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the device HW structure. yes, that’s the whole argument, and she ate 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this one is used to access the device pointer from compilation units which can’t easily include the definition of struct ice_pf without leading to circular header dependencies. it’s giving “small utility, big dependency-management energy” ✨

no cap, that’s the vibe: grab the device pointer without dragging the whole struct ice_pf definition into places where it would cause circular header drama. 💖
