STRUCT EXYNOS_MBOX_DRIVER_DATA(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

struct exynos_mbox_driver_data β€” bestie, it's literally the platform-specific mailbox configuration struct, no cap ✨

So this is from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving "small but essential." πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct exynos_mbox_driver_data {
    u32 intgr;
    u32 intgr_shift;
    u32 intmr;
    u32 intmr_mask;
    int num_chans;
 };

Okay so that's the whole struct. Five fields. Not a single one more. She's compact, she's efficient, she's an icon πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

Lowkey the most important part, so pay attention bestie 🫢

  • intgr β€” this one's the offset to the IRQ generation register, aka the doorbell to the APM co-processor πŸ”” Like, you're literally ringing the bell to get its attention. Obsessed.
  • intgr_shift β€” the shift you apply to the value you're writing to that IRQ generation register. Yes, a shift. On the value. That value. That's the vibe ✨
  • intmr β€” the offset to the IRQ mask register. Different register, different offset, don't mix them up πŸ™ˆ
  • intmr_mask β€” the actual value you write to the mask register to mask out all the interrupts. All of them. Every single one. Silence. 🀫
  • num_chans β€” the number of channels the mailbox can support. And just so we're clear, this is hardware capability β€” it's not vibes-based, it's what the hardware can actually do πŸ”₯

So this page lives in ./drivers/mailbox (yes, that's the source), it's tagged October 2026 for the version/date sitch, and the whole thing is filed under struct exyno..._driver_data(9) because the header was too iconic to fit the full name πŸ˜­πŸ’€ Slay, go configure some mailboxes, bestie! πŸ§šβ­πŸ“ πŸ‘‘
