mtd_to_nanddev(9)

💅 mtd_to_nanddev — the one from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got an MTD instance in your hands, and you're like "bestie… where's the NAND device at?" That's literally this function. It's the glow-up from MTD to its NAND device, and it's giving "main character energy" for exactly one job. No cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

mtd_to_nanddev — Get the NAND device attached to the MTD instance 🎀

Like, you hand it an MTD instance, it hands you back the NAND device. Simple. Iconic. Periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct nand_device * mtd_to_nanddev (struct mtd_info *mtd );

One function, one argument, one return value. We love a low-maintenance icon. 💖

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• mtd — the MTD instance, aka the thing you're holding up to the light going "okay but who's your NAND friend?" 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the NAND device embedding mtd. 🌈

That's it. That's the tea. It gives you back the struct nand_device * that's wrapping around your mtd — the container-of situation, but make it cute. 💅

This is the part where I list literally everyone in the group chat, because the kernel file ./include/linux/mtd/nand.h has a lot of friends and we're not leaving a single one on read. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🍓 this absolute icon of a manual page came out of ./include/linux/mtd, dated October 2026 — and it's titled mtd_to_nanddev(9), in case the twenty times I said it didn't land. mwah 💜✨🎀
