STRUCT IDPF_DEV_OPS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct idpf_dev_ops β€” a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual for struct idpf_dev_ops, and no cap this one is basically a little personality card for the device: it says "here's how this specific hardware likes to be handled." it's the "device specific operations" struct, iykyk πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct idpf_dev_ops β€” Device specific operations πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct idpf_dev_ops {
    struct idpf_reg_ops reg_ops;
    int (*idc_init)(struct idpf_adapter *adapter);
    struct resource static_reg_info[IDPF_MMIO_REG_NUM_STATIC];
};

like, that's the whole vibe. three members, zero filler, main character energy πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • reg_ops β€” Register operations. the little bundle of register moves this device knows how to do. slay πŸ’…
  • idc_init β€” IDC initialization. it's a function pointer taking a struct idpf_adapter *adapter and handing back an int, and it's literally the "hey, go set up IDC" hook 🫢
  • static_reg_info β€” array of mailbox and rstat register info. it's declared as struct resource static_reg_info[IDPF_MMIO_REG_NUM_STATIC], so yes, it's a fixed-size array of register info, and yes, it's giving very organized πŸŽ€
