STRUCT FPGA_BRIDGE(9)

🌸 struct fpga_bridge(9) — FPGA bridge structure 🌸

ok so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about struct fpga_bridge — the lil' struct that holds your FPGA bridge together. bestie, it's giving kernel-internals main character energy and i'm obsessed 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct fpga_bridge — the FPGA bridge structure 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole vibe, exactly as it lives in the source:

struct fpga_bridge {
    const char *name;
    struct device dev;
    struct mutex mutex;
    const struct fpga_bridge_ops *br_ops;
    struct module *br_ops_owner;
    struct fpga_image_info *info;
    struct list_head node;
    void *priv;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct. now let's meet every single member because we do not skip members in this house 🎀

---

✨ Members ✨

• name — the name of the low level FPGA bridge. like, its whole identity ✨
• dev — the FPGA bridge device. that's the struct device it rides with 💖
• mutex — enforces exclusive reference to the bridge. one at a time, no gatecrashing the vibe check 🔒
• br_ops — pointer to the struct of FPGA bridge ops. this is where the actual operations live 👑
• br_ops_owner — the module containing the br_ops. gotta know who's holding the ops, iykyk 🌸
• info — fpga image specific information. all the deets about the image 🖼️
• node — the FPGA bridge list node. it's literally linked in, periodt 🔗
• priv — low level driver private date. and yes, it genuinely says date in the docs, not data — i'm not fixing it, i'm just reporting it 💀🙈

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./include/linux/fpga/fpga-bridge.h struct fpga_bridge_ops(9), struct fpga_bridge_info(9)

go read those too bestie, they're the supporting cast and they absolutely ate 🫶

and that's the whole page! huge shoutout to ./include/linux/fpga for the source, dated October 2026, and the page itself being struct fpga_bridge(9) — that's the footer lore, we keep it iconic ⭐💜
