STRUCT ADXRS450_STATE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct adxrs450_state(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct adxrs450_state β€” it's giving "device instance specific data" and honestly? iconic. this is the little struct that holds everything one specific ADXRS450 gyro instance needs to know about itself πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct adxrs450_state β€” device instance specific data πŸ’…

like, the per-device vibes container. no cap.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct adxrs450_state {
    struct spi_device       *us;
    struct mutex            buf_lock;
    __be32 tx;
    __be32 rx;
 };

that's the whole struct, and yes the way that closing brace is indented in the original is a whole mood β€” we keep it exactly as it is, periodt ✨


πŸ’– Members πŸ’–

so here's the breakdown, member by member, no skips:

  • us β€” the actual spi_device. your real hardware bestie 🫢
  • buf_lock β€” a mutex whose whole job is to protect tx and rx. it's the bouncer at the door of your buffers, fr fr πŸ”’
  • tx β€” the transmit buffer πŸ’Œ
  • rx β€” the receive buffer πŸ’Œ
ngl, buf_lock is main character energy: without it, tx and rx are just two fields with zero chill. keep them locked, bestie.
