STRUCT DVB_NET(9)

💅 struct dvb_net(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about struct dvb_net — the little struct that describes a DVB network interface. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct dvb_net — describes a DVB network interface

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct dvb_net {
    struct dvb_device *dvbdev;
    struct net_device *device[DVB_NET_DEVICES_MAX];
    int state[DVB_NET_DEVICES_MAX];
    unsigned int exit:1;
    struct dmx_demux *demux;
    struct mutex ioctl_mutex;
    struct mutex remove_mutex;
 };

like, that's the whole struct, copy it exactly bestie, don't be weird about it 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

• dvbdev — pointer to struct dvb_device. a little pointer, doing its thing.
• device — array of pointers to struct net_device. it's giving "multiple net devices, one array" energy.
• state — array of integers, one for each net device. any value that isn't zero means the interface is in usage. iykyk 👀
• exit — flag to indicate when the device is being removed. bye bestie 💀
• demux — pointer to struct dmx_demux.
• ioctl_mutex — protects access to this struct. she's a bodyguard, periodt.
• remove_mutex — mutex that avoids a race condition between a callback called when the hardware is disconnected and the file_operations of dvb_net. literally keeping the peace 🔥

🌈 Description 🌈

Currently, the core supports up to DVB_NET_DEVICES_MAX (10) network devices. ten! that's the limit, don't come for her 💅

✨ lowkey obsessed with how tidy this page is. no bugs listed, no drama, just struct facts. slay.

okay that's the whole page, bestie — this one came from ./include/media, October 2026 edition, and honestly? she ate. 🍓💖🧚
