STRUCT COMPONENT_OPS(9)

✨ struct component_ops(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's all about struct component_ops — the callback situation for component drivers 🎀

---

💖 NAME 💖

struct component_ops — the callbacks for component drivers, periodt

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct component_ops {
    int (*bind)(struct device *comp, struct device *master, void
*master_data);
    void (*unbind)(struct device *comp, struct device *master, void
*master_data);
 };

like, that's the whole vibe right there 👑

🌸 Members 🌸

• bind — this one gets called through component_bind_all when the aggregate driver is ready to bind the overall driver. it's giving "the moment has arrived" energy ✨
• unbind — called through component_unbind_all when the aggregate driver is ready to bind the overall driver, or when component_bind_all fails part-ways through and needs to unbind some already bound components 😭 yes it does double duty, she contains multitudes 💅

---

🌈 Description 🌈

so here's the tea 🍓: components are registered with component_add and unregistered with component_del. that's literally it, no cap. iykyk 🧚

fr fr bestie, go read ./include/linux/component.h — it's the main character of this whole story 👑

mwah 💋 this page lives in ./include/linux, it's dated October 2026, and it goes by struct component_ops(9) — slay, bye 👋
