STRUCT ISER_FR_DESC(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct iser_fr_desc β€” Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense ✨

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 πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iser_fr_desc β€” the Fast registration descriptor. that's it, that's the name, and honestly? iconic. πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole struct, exactly as it lives, no edits, no drama:

struct iser_fr_desc {
    struct list_head                  list;
    struct iser_reg_resources         rsc;
    bool sig_protected;
    struct list_head                  all_list;
};

look at her. four fields. main character energy fr fr 🫢


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • list β€” this one's the entry in the connection fastreg pool. like, it's on the list, literally. πŸ’…
  • rsc β€” the data buffer registration resources. all the resource-y bits for registering that data buffer live right here. πŸ“
  • sig_protected β€” this is the is region protected indicator. a bool, so it's giving yes/no, protected-or-not. πŸŽ€
  • all_list β€” the first and last list members. that's what the original says and we're not gonna overthink it, we're just gonna report it. 😭

ngl, that last one in the list is struct iser_global(9) β€” and yes, it's still ./drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser energy, October 2026, struct iser_fr_desc(9), periodt πŸ’€

okay that's the whole page!! source is ./drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser, version/date is October 2026, and the page is struct iser_fr_desc(9) β€” mention it, remember it, maybe don't tattoo it. bye bestie, go register something fast πŸ”₯βœ¨πŸ’œ
