STRUCT FCOE_INTERFACE(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this page is struct fcoe_interface — and it's literally just A FCoE interface 💅 that's the whole name section, bestie, we move.

(also hi, this is from the Kernel API Manual — page struct fcoe_interface(9), section 9, we love a section 9 moment 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole struct, no cap, copy it exactly how it is:

struct fcoe_interface {
    struct list_head   list;
    struct net_device  *netdev;
    struct net_device  *realdev;
    struct packet_type fcoe_packet_type;
    struct packet_type fip_packet_type;
    struct packet_type fip_vlan_packet_type;
    struct fc_exch_mgr *oem;
    u8 removed;
    u8 priority;
 };

like… look at her. main character struct energy 🔥

🎀 Members 🎀

ok so these are the fields and what they actually do, let me break it down for you 👇

• list — the handle for a list of FCoE interfaces. she's on a list, she's booked and busy 🦋
• netdev — the associated net device. her ride-or-die netdev 💖
• fcoe_packet_type — FCoE packet type 🎀
• fip_packet_type — FIP packet type ✨
• oem — the offload exchange manager for all the local port instances associated with this port. yes, all of them, she manages the whole friend group 👑
• removed — indicates the fcoe interface was removed from the net device. sad girl hours, but it's a flag so it's fine 😭
• priority — priority for the FCoE packet (DCB). and just so you know: this structure is 1:1 with a net device — one struct, one net device, monogamy fr fr 🫶

tiny heads up bestie: you probs peeped realdev and fip_vlan_packet_type up in the struct — they're for sure in there, they're just not spelled out in this Members list, so I'm not gonna make stuff up about them. iykyk 🙈

alright bestie that's the page!! 💖 she lives under ./drivers/scsi/fcoe, this version is dated October 2026, and the page itself is struct fcoe_interface(9) — slay, mwah, go read fcoe.h ✨🎀🌈
