STRUCT BRCMF_FWEH_INFO(9)

💖 struct brcmf_fweh_info(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that Kernel API Manual — and today's main character is struct brcmf_fweh_info, aka the firmware event handling information struct. it's giving "behind the scenes but actually running everything" energy ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct brcmf_fweh_info — firmware event handling information. periodt. that's the whole vibe, it's the info hub for handling firmware events 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct brcmf_fweh_info {
    struct brcmf_pub *drvr;
    bool p2pdev_setup_ongoing;
    struct work_struct event_work;
    spinlock_t evt_q_lock;
    struct list_head event_q;
    uint event_mask_len;
    u8 *event_mask;
    const struct brcmf_fweh_event_map *event_map;
    uint num_event_codes;
    brcmf_fweh_handler_t evt_handler[];
};

look at her. iconic. no cap, this is a lot of members but we're gonna go through every single one, i promise 🫶

🌸 Members 🌸

• p2pdev_setup_ongoing — lowkey a little status flag: P2P device creation is in progress. that's it, that's the whole job 💅
• event_work — the event worker. your girl shows up and does the work, literally ⭐
• evt_q_lock — the lock for event queue protection. keep it safe, keep it locked 🔒 (okay that emoji isn't in the list but the sentiment is fr)
• event_q — the event queue itself. the lineup. the group chat backlog 💀
• event_mask_len — length of event_mask, used to enable firmware events. it's the size tag bestie, don't skip it 📏
• event_mask — a byte array used in the 'event_msgs' iovar command. yes, 'event_msgs' — keep that exactly as written, iykyk 🔥
• event_map — mapping between fweh event and firmware event, which may be provided by a vendor-specific module for events that need mapping. translator energy 🧚
• num_event_codes — number of firmware events supported by firmware, which does a minimum length check for the event_mask. this value is to be provided by the vendor-specific module determining event_mask_len and consequently the allocation size for event_mask. so basically the vendor module is out here deciding sizes, no pressure 🙈
• evt_handler — event handler registry indexed by firmware event code. the little black book of handlers 📓✨

ngl this whole page lives in ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... and it's dated October 2026 — so yes, the sources are from the future, and the page is still titled struct brcmf_fweh_info(9) because she's consistent 💜

okay that's the whole page, go forth and slay your firmware events 💖🌈🎀
