π struct iser_fr_desc β Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense β¨
okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual about struct iser_fr_desc, and no cap, it's lowkey just a little struct with four members. but we're gonna slay the explanation anyway π
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct iser_fr_desc β the Fast registration descriptor. that's it, that's the name, and honestly? iconic. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
here's the whole struct, exactly as it lives, no edits, no drama:
struct iser_fr_desc {
struct list_head list;

bool sig_protected;
struct list_head all_list;
};
look at her. four fields. main character energy fr fr π«Ά
