STRUCT IPC_MEM_LITE_GEN_TBL(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

struct ipc_mem_lite_gen_tbl β€” the generic table format for Queue Level and Flow Credit, bestie. It's the lil' header that carries a variable-length value field, and yes she's iconic ✨

(it's a Kernel API situation, chapter struct ipc_mem_lite_gen_tbl(9), okurrr 🫢)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ipc_mem_lite_gen_tbl {
    __le32 signature;
    __le16 length;
    u8 if_id;
    u8 vfl_length;
    u32 reserved[2];
    struct mux_lite_vfl vfl;
 };

That's her. That's the whole struct. No cap, she's small but she matters πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ MEMBERS πŸŽ€

Ok so let's go field by field, keep up bestie πŸ¦‹

  • signature β€” the signature of the table. It's a __le32, so little-endian, don't forget that part or the vibe check fails 😭
  • length β€” the length of the table. __le16 girlie.
  • if_id β€” the ID of the interface the table belongs to. A u8, so she's smol.
  • vfl_length β€” the value field length. Also a u8. Yes the naming is consistent, we love that πŸ™ˆ
  • reserved[2] β€” reserved. Two u32s of pure, untouched, do-not-touch reserved energy. Hands off πŸ’€
  • vfl β€” the value field of variable length, and she's a whole struct mux_lite_vfl in there. Main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘
Like, lowkey the whole point of this struct is "generic table format" β€” a signature, some sizes, and then the variable-length value field doing the actual work at the end. That's the tea β˜•
