STRUCT IPACK_DRIVER(9)

✨ struct ipack_driver(9) ✨

okay so you're deep in the Kernel API Manual bestie, and we're talking about struct ipack_driver — the little struct that holds like, the specific data to each ipack device driver. every ipack driver gets one of these and it's basically their whole personality 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ipack_driver {
    struct device_driver driver;
    const struct ipack_device_id *id_table;
    const struct ipack_driver_ops *ops;
 };

no cap, that's the whole thing. three members. let's get into them 🫶

🎀 Members 🎀

• driver — the device driver kernel representation. yeah it's giving "generic kernel paperwork" but like, it's how the kernel actually knows your driver exists 💖
• id_table — the device ID table for this driver. this is where you list out which devices you vibe with, and the kernel does the matchmaking ✨
• ops — the callbacks provided by the IPack device driver. your actual do the thing functions live here, main character energy fr fr 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives at ./include/linux/ipack.h and honestly you should go read all of these too, they're iconic:

• struct ipack_device(9)
• struct ipack_driver_ops(9)
• struct ipack_bus_ops(9)
• struct ipack_bus_device(9)
• ipack_bus_register(9)
• ipack_bus_unregister(9)
• ipack_driver_register(9)
• ipack_device_init(9)
• ipack_device_add(9)
• DEFINE_IPACK_DEVICE_TABLE(9)
• IPACK_DEVICE(9)
• ipack_get_carrier(9)

lowkey a whole syllabus, but you got this bestie 🧚

k byeee, this page came from ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and yes the title is still struct ipack_driver(9) — slay 💜
