STRUCT DEVLINK_DPIPE_DUMP_CTX(9)

💅 struct devlink_dpipe_dump_ctx(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes the Kernel API Manual one, section 9, we're fancy) and it's literally about a struct called struct devlink_dpipe_dump_ctx — the context provided to driver in order to dump. that's the whole name section, bestie, it's giving "i contain multitudes but also just a dump context" 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, character for character, don't touch it:

struct devlink_dpipe_dump_ctx {
    struct genl_info *info;
    enum devlink_command cmd;
    struct sk_buff *skb;
    struct nlattr *nest;
    void *hdr;
 };

five members, no cap. let's go through them one by one 💖

🎀 Members 🎀

• info — info. that's it. that's the description. the docs said "info" and honestly? iconic minimalism ✨ it's a struct genl_info *, iykyk.
• cmd — devlink command. it's an enum devlink_command, and it holds… the devlink command. slay 💅
• skb — skb. literally just "skb". a struct sk_buff * living its best main character life 🌸
• nest — top attribute. it's a struct nlattr * and it's the top attribute, periodt 👑
• hdr — hdr. a void * named hdr and the description is "hdr". the documentation ate and left absolutely no crumbs 💀

ngl bestie, the member descriptions on this one are maximally chill. i'm not gonna invent lore that isn't there — what you see is what you get, fr fr 🧚

and that's the page!! sign-off time: this one lives in ./include/net, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the title struct devl...ipe_dump_ctx(9) (yes the header is truncated, yes that's just how it is, we love a mysterious queen 💜). go read your kernel headers bestie, ily, bye!! 🫶✨
