STRUCT HWSPINLOCK(9)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, straight from the Kernel API Manual: this is struct hwspinlock(9), and it is literally the struct that represents a single hwspinlock instance. No cap. 🎀

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

Here is the whole struct, exact and iconic:

       struct hwspinlock {
           struct hwspinlock_device *bank;
           spinlock_t lock;
           void *priv;
        };

🫶 Members 🫶

• bank — the hwspinlock_device structure that owns this lock, like its official home base. 🏠
• lock — initialized and used by the hwspinlock core itself. 💅
• priv — private data, owned by the underlying platform-specific hwspinlock drv. 🫶
