STRUCT CDEV_DEBUGFS(9)
✨ struct cdev_debugfs(9) ✨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct cdev_debugfs 💅 this is the per cooling device statistics structure, and honestly? it's giving genius-level data structure design 🎀
🌸 NAME 🌸
struct cdev_debugfs — per cooling device statistics structure.
so here's the tea ☕ a cooling device can have a high number of states. and like, showing the transitions on a matrix based representation can be overkill given most of the transitions won't happen — you'd just end up with a matrix filled with zero 😭 which is so not the vibe. instead, we show the transitions which actually happened. obsessed. 🔥
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
struct cdev_debugfs {
u32 total;
int current_state;
ktime_t timestamp;
struct list_head transitions[CDEVSTATS_HASH_SIZE];
struct list_head durations[CDEVSTATS_HASH_SIZE];
};
like, look at her. main character struct energy fr fr 👑
💜 Members 💜
total— the number of transitions for this cooling device ✨current_state— the current cooling device state, aka where we're at right now 💅timestamp— the state change timestamp ⏰transitions— an array of lists containing the state transitions 🦋durations— an array of lists containing the residencies of each state 🌸
🎀 Description 🎀
every transition updates the current_state and the timestamp — no cap, both of them, every single time 🫶 and the transitions and the durations are stored in lists. that's it, that's the whole lore ✨

💀 reminder bestie: this is a kernel struct, so treat it with the respect it deserves — none of that guessing-at-behaviour stuff, okay? 🙈
and that's the whole page! this lil gem lives over in ./drivers/thermal, dated October 2026, and it goes by struct cdev_debugfs(9) around the manual pages 🌈 bye bestie, go read some thermal code 💖 🧚 ⭐
