STRUCT DEV_INFO(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the struct dev_info(9) page — it's the network device information data structure, and it's literally the group-chat roster for this driver's struct 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

struct dev_info — Network device information data structure 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The struct itself, exactly as it appears, no edits bestie:

struct dev_info {
    struct net_device *dev;
    struct pci_dev *pdev;
    struct ksz_hw hw;
    struct ksz_shared_mem desc_pool;
    spinlock_t hwlock;
    struct mutex lock;
    int (*dev_rcv)(struct dev_info *);
    struct sk_buff *last_skb;
    int skb_index;
    int skb_len;
    struct work_struct mib_read;
    struct ksz_timer_info mib_timer_info;
    struct ksz_counter_info counter[TOTAL_PORT_NUM];
    int mtu;
    int opened;
    struct tasklet_struct rx_tasklet;
    struct tasklet_struct tx_tasklet;
    int wol_enable;
    int wol_support;
    unsigned long pme_wait;
};

🫶 Members 🫶

Here's the member-by-member vibe check — every single one, no skips:

• dev — pointer to the network device 🫶
• pdev — pointer to the PCI device.
• hw — the hardware structure.
• desc_pool — physical memory used for the descriptor pool.
• hwlock — spinlock to prevent hardware from accessing.
• lock — mutex lock to prevent device from accessing.
• dev_rcv — receive process function used.
• last_skb — socket buffer allocated for descriptor rx fragments.
• skb_index — buffer index for receiving fragments.
• skb_len — buffer length for receiving fragments.
• mib_read — workqueue to read MIB counters.
• mib_timer_info — timer to read MIB counters.
• counter — used for MIB reading.
• mtu — current MTU used. The default is REGULAR_RX_BUF_SIZE; the maximum is MAX_RX_BUF_SIZE.
• opened — counter to keep track of device open.
• rx_tasklet — receive processing tasklet.
• tx_tasklet — transmit processing tasklet.
• wol_enable — Wake-on-LAN enable set by ethtool.
• wol_support — Wake-on-LAN support used by ethtool.
• pme_wait — used for KSZ8841 power management.
