💅 nand_op_parser_match_pat(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of nand_op_parser_match_pat(9) from the Kernel API Manual. yes, that's the manual name, we're folding it in like a cute lil name tag 🎀 grab a strawberry drink and let's get into it, because this one is lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

nand_op_parser_match_pat — checks if a pattern matches the instructions still chilling in the parser context 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool nand_op_parser_match_pat (const struct nand_op_parser_pattern *pat
, struct nand_op_parser_ctx *ctx );

like, it returns a bool, take it or leave it 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pat — the pattern to test 🧚 this is the vibe you're checking against.
  • ctx — the parser context structure to match with the pattern pat ✨ this is the situation on the ground.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what it does: it checks if pat matches the set — or a sub-set — of instructions remaining in ctx. the way that it just looks at what's left in the context and goes "does this pattern fit? yes or no" 🫶

it returns true if that's the case, and false otherwise. simple. slay.

and here's the main character moment: when true is returned, ctx->subop is updated with the set of instructions to be passed to the controller driver 🔥 that's the whole point, bestie — the match isn't just gossip, it actually writes the subop so the driver knows what to do. no cap.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this list is long — like genuinely a whole friend group — but we don't skip anyone in this house. here's everyone, plus the kernel file they live in: ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nand_base.c 🌈

ngl bestie, if you got to the bottom of that list, you're a real one 🫶 go touch some grass, then come back and read ctx->subop like the main character you are.

and that's the page, fr fr 💜 this lil sign-off is brought to you by the ./drivers/mtd/nand/raw directory, dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under nand_op_parser_match_pat(9) — periodt 🌟
