STRUCT FPGA_MANAGER(9)

🦋 struct fpga_manager — the glow-up page 🦋

okay so like, welcome to the struct fpga_manager(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's a section 9 manpage, we're in kernel-internals territory bestie, put your hair up 💅

This is the struct that holds everything about an FPGA manager. It's giving main character energy in ./include/linux/fpga/fpga-mgr.h and honestly? Obsessed. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct fpga_manager {
    const char *name;
    struct device dev;
    struct mutex ref_mutex;
    enum fpga_mgr_states state;
    struct fpga_compat_id *compat_id;
    const struct fpga_manager_ops *mops;
    struct module *mops_owner;
    void *priv;
 };

like, that's the whole blueprint. every field, exactly as it is, no cap 🔥

🌸 Members 🌸

• name — the name of the low level fpga manager. it's literally just a string, but it's her string, yk? 💖
• dev — the fpga manager device. the whole struct device, living here rent free 🫶
• ref_mutex — a mutex that only lets one reference to the fpga manager exist at a time. one (1) reference. no plus-ones, no situationships 🙈
• state — the state of the fpga manager, typed as enum fpga_mgr_states. this is the vibe check field fr fr ⭐
• compat_id — FPGA manager id for compatibility check. a pointer to struct fpga_compat_id, keeping things compatible so nothing gets awkward 😭
• mops — pointer to the struct of fpga manager ops, typed const struct fpga_manager_ops *. all the actual behaviour lives over there 👑
• mops_owner — the module containing the mops. gotta know who owns the ops, iykyk 💀
• priv — low level driver private date. (yes, the manpage says "date" — we do not correct the manpage, we respect the manpage 🎀) a void *, so it can be literally anything, iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

ngl, the field names are name, dev, ref_mutex, state, compat_id, mops, mops_owner, priv — use them exactly, character for character, or the compiler will simply not hear you 🧚
