STRUCT EFX_MAE(9)

🌸 struct efx_mae(9) — like, the whole vibe 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and honestly? we're about to get into the internals of struct efx_mae and it's lowkey iconic. this is the MAE information struct and it's giving "small but mighty" — two members, zero fluff, main character energy. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct efx_mae — MAE information, periodt. that's the whole name. short, sweet, slays.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the struct in all its glory, copied exactly, no cap:

struct efx_mae {
    struct efx_nic *efx;
    struct rhashtable mports_ht;
 };

look at her. two fields. immaculate. 🎀

---

💖 Members 💖

okay so let's meet the members one by one, they each have a job and they're both doing it:

• efx — the associated NIC. that's it, that's the field. it's the NIC this whole thing is attached to, the bestie-in-chief, the one it's associated with. 🫶
• mports_ht — m-port descriptions from MC_CMD_MAE_MPORT_READ_JOURNAL. yes, that's the exact command name, i did not touch it, it's a rhashtable holding m-port descriptions that come from that journal read. iykyk. 🔥

ngl, that MC_CMD_MAE_MPORT_READ_JOURNAL name is a whole mouthful but it's literally the source of the m-port descriptions in mports_ht, so we respect it. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/mae.h — go read it, bestie, that's where all of this actually lives. 📂✨

and that's the tea! ☕ this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/sfc, dated October 2026, and it's struct efx_mae(9) all day every day. go forth and be obsessed with kernel structs, mwah 💜🧚‍♀️
