STRUCT DIO48E_GPIO(9)
β¨ struct dio48e_gpio β your fave lil GPIO data structure β¨
Okay bestie, so this is a kernel API manual page β it lives in the Kernel API Manual family, and the star of the show today is a struct called struct dio48e_gpio. It's giving GPIO device private data structure energy π
β literally the little private clubhouse where the driver for this GPIO device keeps all its important stuff.
π NAME π
struct dio48e_gpio β the GPIO device private data structure, no cap. This is where the driver stashes its state so it doesn't have to carry everything around in its pockets. π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
Here's the whole vibe, character for character, don't touch a single semicolon:
struct dio48e_gpio {
raw_spinlock_t lock;
struct regmap *map;
void __iomem *regs;
unsigned long flags;
unsigned int irq_mask;
};
Yes diva, that's the whole struct, and every single member matters β let's go member by member β¨
π¦ Members π¦
lockβ araw_spinlock_t, and it's the synchronization lock to prevent I/O race conditions. Basically a bouncer at the door of the club so two threads don't barge in and trip over each other. Iconic behaviour. π₯mapβ astruct regmap *, and it's the Regmap for the device. The glow-up registry for all the device's registers, iykyk.regsβ avoid __iomem *, described as the virtual mapping for device registers. This is the actual pointer into memory-mapped register land β where the hardware's realness lives. πflagsβ anunsigned long, holding the IRQ flags saved during locking. Very "keep the receipts" of this struct β it remembers what the interrupt flags were so nothing gets lost. π§irq_maskβ anunsigned int, and it's the current IRQ mask state on the device. Literally tracking which interrupts are masked right now, fr fr. π
Lowkey important: these are all members of one struct, so if you're poking at them, you're poking at this device's private data. Nothing here is optional in the description, bestie β it's all part of the package. π

Okay that's the whole page! Sending you off with a cute little sign-off: this precious page came from the source path ./drivers/gpio, dated October 2026, and yes β that's the struct dio48e_gpio(9) manual page, wrapped up with a bow ππ Slay, go forth and read your registers responsibly. π¦β¨
