STRUCT BRCMF_FWEH_QUEUE_ITEM(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

struct brcmf_fweh_queue_item — bestie, this is literally the event item that lives on the event queue. That's it, that's the vibe. (Also hiii, this is the Kernel API Manual, welcome to the group chat ✨)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so this is the whole shape of it, no notes, absolutely iconic:

struct brcmf_fweh_queue_item {
    struct list_head q;
    u32 code;
    u8 ifidx;
    u8 ifaddr[ETH_ALEN];
    struct brcmf_event_msg_be emsg;
    u32 datalen;
    u8 data[];
 };

🎀 MEMBERS 🎀

Every field, ranked by nothing, because they're all main characters 🫶

  • q — the list element for queuing. Think of it as the little hook that lets this struct hang out with all its friends on the list 💅
  • code — the event code. It's giving "which event is this" energy.
  • ifidx — the interface index related to this event. iykyk 🦋
  • ifaddr — the ethernet address for the interface. Yes, the actual ethernet address, we don't gatekeep.
  • emsg — the common parameters of the firmware event message. The shared lore, if you will 🌸
  • datalen — the length of the data array. It's literally just the length. Periodt.
  • data — the event-specific data part of the firmware event. The flexible array member at the end doing its ✨ thing ✨
ngl, data[] being a trailing flexible array means this struct is built different — the data just keeps going past the end of the struct, no cap.
