STRUCT HTE_DEVICE(9)

💅 struct hte_device(9) — like, the HTE abstract device, bestie 🦋

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about struct hte_device — the HTE abstract device. yes, the whole entire vibe of this page is one struct. she's the main character. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

struct hte_device — the HTE abstract device, fr fr 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bestie. look at her. she's gorgeous:

struct hte_device {
    u32 nlines;
    atomic_t ts_req;
    struct device *sdev;
    struct dentry *dbg_root;
    struct list_head list;
    struct hte_chip *chip;
    struct module *owner;
    struct hte_ts_info ei[];
};

---

🎀 Members 🎀

okay, member-by-member breakdown, no skipping, i promise 🫶

• nlines — how many entities this device supports. that's the count, periodt. ✨
• ts_req — the total number of entities requested. like, all of them. 🌈
• sdev — the device that gets used in all the various debug prints. she's the one showing up in the logs 💅
• dbg_root — the root directory for debug fs. literally the home base for the debug filesystem 🏠
• list — a list node, used to store the hte_device for each provider. keepin' everyone organized 🗂️
• chip — the HTE chip providing this HTE device. she didn't come from nowhere, she has a supplier 🧚
• owner — helps prevent removal of modules when in use. very much the "don't touch, we're using that" energy 💀
• ei — timestamp information. the clock stuff. the timey-wimey bit ⭐

it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" ngl 🙈
