STRUCT DFL_FPGA_PORT_OPS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

okay so this is struct dfl_fpga_port_ops β€” literally just "port ops", that's the whole vibe. it's a struct from the dfl_fpga_port_ops(9) page in the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole thing, exactly as it lives, no cap:

struct dfl_fpga_port_ops {
    const char *name;
    struct module *owner;
    struct list_head node;
    int (*get_id)(struct dfl_feature_dev_data *fdata);
    int (*enable_set)(struct dfl_feature_dev_data *fdata, bool enable);
 };

like, five members, all mains, no filler. we love to see it 🫢


🌸 Members 🌸

okay let's meet the cast, one by one:

  • name β€” the name of this port ops 🏷️ it's the thing that gets matched up with the port platform device, so pick a good one, iykyk.
  • owner β€” a pointer to the module that owns this port ops. like, whose name is on the lease, fr fr.
  • node β€” the node that links port ops into the global list πŸ”— it's the little connector that keeps everybody in the group chat.
  • get_id β€” gets the port id straight from the hardware. hardware knows, hardware tells πŸ”₯
  • enable_set β€” enables or disables the port, on and off, slay πŸ’…

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

if you're gonna go read more (and you should, bestie, it's a whole ecosystem), start with the kernel file ./drivers/fpga/dfl.h and then go meet the whole friend group:

  • struct dfl_feature_id(9)
  • struct dfl_feature_driver(9)
  • struct dfl_feature_irq_ctx(9)
  • struct dfl_feature(9)
  • struct dfl_feature_dev_data(9)
  • struct dfl_feature_platform_data(9)
  • struct dfl_fpga_enum_info(9)
  • struct dfl_fpga_enum_dfl(9)
  • struct dfl_fpga_cdev(9)

ok that's the whole page 🌈 no options to memorise, no scary defaults, just a struct and its five iconic members. you ate that, honestly.

and that's a wrap, bestie! πŸ¦‹ this one comes to you from ./drivers/fpga, stamped October 2026 β€” go forth and port-ops responsibly βœ¨πŸ’–
