STRUCT ISST_IF_CMD_CB(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct isst_if_cmd_cb(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this page is literally about struct isst_if_cmd_cb β€” and yes, the whole personality of this thing is: it's the glow-up registration form for an IOCTL handler πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct isst_if_cmd_cb β€” the struct you use to register an IOCTL handler, no cap πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct isst_if_cmd_cb {
    int registered;
    int cmd_size;
    int offset;
    int api_version;
    struct module *owner;
    long (*cmd_callback)(u8 *ptr, int *write_only, int resume);
    long (*def_ioctl)(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long
arg);
 };

πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • registered β€” this one is the common code's little diary entry, it stores the registry. Caller does not need to touch this field, fr fr hands off πŸ™ˆ
  • cmd_size β€” the size of the individual command inside the IOCTL πŸ“
  • offset β€” offset to the first valid member in the command structure. Basically it's the offset where the command actually starts, right after the command count field 🎯
  • api_version β€” the API version supported for this target. It's 0 if there isn't one πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
  • owner β€” the registered module owner πŸ‘‘
  • cmd_callback β€” the callback function that handles the IOCTL πŸ’… it gets the command pointer with the data for the command. There's this pointer called write_only, and when it's set, the response will not be copied back to the user ioctl buffer (noted, bestie 🫢). The resume argument can be used to avoid storing the command for replay during system resume 😴
  • def_ioctl β€” the default IOCTL handler callback, for when there's no match in the existing list of IOCTLs handled by the common handler 🧚 it's giving backup plan energy

πŸ”₯ Description πŸ”₯

So this structure registers a handler for IOCTL β€” that's the whole vibe ✨ To avoid code duplication (iconic, honestly), the common code handles all the IOCTL command read/write, including handling multiple commands in a single IOCTL πŸ’€ The caller literally just needs to execute a command via the registered callback, and that's it. Periodt. 🩷
