STRUCT FW_EVENT_WORK(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the struct fw_event_work(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the firmware event struct. That's the whole vibe. periodt ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct fw_event_work {
           u8 *retries;
           u8 delayed_work_active;
           struct delayed_work     delayed_work;
           struct list_head        list;
           struct work_struct      work;
           struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc;
           u16 device_handle;
           u8 VF_ID;
           u8 VP_ID;
           u8 ignore;
           u16 event;
           struct kref             refcount;
           char event_data[];
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

  • retries — retry count for processing the event. basically the "try again" counter, bestie 🔁
  • delayed_work_active — flag indicating if delayed work is active. is the delayed-work girlie currently on duty? this flag knows ⏳
  • delayed_work — delayed work item for deferred event handling. the "we'll handle it later" work object 🫶
  • list — link list framework. yes, that's the original wording, and yes, it's giving linked-list energy 💅
  • work — work object (ioc->fault_reset_work_q). main character work item 🔥
  • ioc — per adapter object. the adapter's whole personality lives here 👑
  • device_handle — device handle. short, sweet, iconic 🎀
  • VF_ID — virtual function id. virtual function vibes 🦋
  • VP_ID — virtual port id. virtual port vibes 🌈
  • ignore — flag meaning this event has been marked to ignore. not me getting left on read by the kernel 💀
  • event — firmware event MPI2_EVENT_XXX defined in mpi2_ioc.h. the event event, iykyk ⭐
  • refcount — kref for this event. reference-counting bestie 🧚
  • event_data — reply event data payload follows. the payload is literally right there 🍓

🌸 Description 🌸

This object stored on ioc->fw_event_list. that's the tea, no cap 💖

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

bestie, here's the whole SEE ALSO constellation, and I mean all of it — every reference stays exactly where it belongs ✨

kisses bestie 💖 this whole thing came from source ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, dated October 2026, and it's the struct fw_event_work(9) page. slay, you made it to the end ✨👑
