STRUCT HOTPLUG_SLOT(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is the struct hotplug_slot(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it’s literally the struct you use to register a physical slot with the hotplug pci core. No cap, that’s the whole point.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct hotplug_slot {
    const struct hotplug_slot_ops   *ops;
    struct pci_slot                 *pci_slot;
    struct module                   *owner;
    const char                      *mod_name;
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

• ops — pointer to the struct hotplug_slot_ops to be used for this slot. That’s the ops hookup for this slot, periodt 💅
• pci_slot — represents a physical slot. Like, the physical slot itself, iconic 🎀
• owner — the module owner of this structure. Gotta know who owns it, iykyk 🫶
• mod_name — the module name (KBUILD_MODNAME) of this structure. That’s the name tag, bestie 🏷️
