STRUCT HL_DEC(9)

✨ struct hl_dec(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct hl_dec(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this is the whole entire glow-up of a decoder software instance and honestly it's giving "small struct, big main character energy" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct hl_dec — describes a decoder sw instance. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct hl_dec {
    struct hl_device        *hdev;
    struct work_struct      abnrm_intr_work;
    u32 core_id;
    u32 base_addr;
 };

like, look at her. four whole fields and she's iconic for it 😭

---

👑 Members 👑

• hdev — pointer to the device structure. your backstage pass to the whole device, fr fr 🫶
• abnrm_intr_work — a workqueue work item to run when the decoder generates an error interrupt. so when things go sideways, this is the little task that gets queued up to handle it — no cap, that's the whole job 💀
• core_id — ID of the decoder. literally her name tag at the party ✨
• base_addr — base address of the decoder. where she lives in memory, iykyk 🌈

k bye! this page lives in ./drivers/accel/habanalabs/common, dated October 2026, and it's a struct hl_dec(9) manual page. slay, study it, and remember: hdev, abnrm_intr_work, core_id, base_addr. periodt. 💅🎀
