STRUCT BRCMF_BUS_STATS(9)

✨ struct brcmf_bus_stats(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct brcmf_bus_stats page from the Kernel API Manual — it's the manual page for struct brcmf_bus_stats, and we're gonna get through it together, no cap 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct brcmf_bus_stats — bus statistic counters. that's it, that's the whole vibe: it's a lil struct full of counters that keep track of what the bus has been up to 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the actual shape of it, copy it exactly bestie, don't get creative:

struct brcmf_bus_stats {
    atomic_t pktcowed;
    atomic_t pktcow_failed;
 };

like… it's giving two atomic_t fields and nothing else. lowkey iconic for how small it is 🫶

---

👑 Members 👑

• pktcowed — packets that got cowed so they'd have extra headroom / get unorphaned. yes, "cowed". that's the real word in the real kernel, we do not question it 🐄✨
• pktcow_failed — packets that got dropped because the cow-ing failed 😭 the counter of sadness fr fr

ngl both of these are atomic_t, so the counting itself is atomic — that's literally in the synopsis, go look, i'll wait 💀

and that's the page!! 🎀 this one came out of ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... (yes it's truncated in the footer, that's just how it's printed, don't come for me 🙈) and it's dated October 2026, with the manual name struct brcmf_bus_stats(9) sitting right there in the footer too. slay, go count some cowed packets bestie ⭐🔥
