STRUCT CDX_OPS(9)
π struct cdx_ops(9) β like, the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense π
okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about struct cdx_ops β literally the callback squad that a CDX controller supports. it's giving "here's the vibe contract between the bus and your controller" and honestly? iconic. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct cdx_ops β the callbacks supported by the CDX controller. that's it, that's the whole personality. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
struct cdx_ops {
cdx_bus_enable_cb bus_enable;
cdx_bus_disable_cb bus_disable;
cdx_scan_cb scan;
cdx_dev_configure_cb dev_configure;
};
like, four function pointers, all lined up, all with their own little type names. no cap, that's the whole struct. π«Ά
π Members π
okay so let's meet the cast, main character energy only:
bus_enableβ enables the bus on the controller. yes. that's the job. it turns the bus on π₯bus_disableβ disables the bus on the controller. the reverse slay. bus off, bestie πscanβ scans for the devices hanging out on the controller. like a little headcount for the bus πdev_configureβ the config-y one: stuff like reset,master_enable,msi_configetc. for a CDX device. one callback, many chores, we love a multitasker π
ngl, these are callbacks β so you provide them, and the CDX controller calls them. don't come for me, that's literally what the struct is for. π§

go read these next, i'm obsessed with the cross-references:
- the kernel file

like a whole group chat of related pages. iykyk. π
aaaand that's the page! π cute little sign-off: this lives under ./include/linux/cdx, version date October 2026, and it's filed as struct cdx_ops(9). mwah, go read the other pages bestie πβ¨π
