STRUCT IWL_MVM_INTERNAL_RXQ_NOTIF(9)

🦋 struct iwl_mvm_internal_rxq_notif(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 🦋

okay bestie, sit down, because we're reading a Kernel API Manual page today and honestly? it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" ✨ the whole vibe is struct iwl_mvm_internal_rxq_notif, and no cap, it's lowkey the little note that travels inside the fancy envelope 💌

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_mvm_internal_rxq_notif — the internal representation of the data sent in &iwl_rxq_sync_cmd. 🎀

like, heads up: it should be DWORD aligned, bestie, fr fr. and the FW (that's firmware, iykyk 🧚) is agnostic to the payload — meaning it literally does not care what's inside — so there are no endianity requirements 💅 iconic behavior honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iwl_mvm_internal_rxq_notif {
    u16 type;
    u16 sync;
    u32 cookie;
    u8 data[];
 };

look at her. four fields and one very slay flexible array member at the end 🫶 she's compact, she's aligned, she's ready.

💖 Members 💖

• type — the value from iwl_mvm_rxq_notif_type ⭐ it's basically her whole personality, like her little "hi I'm this kind of notif" name tag.
• sync — the ctrl path is waiting for all notifications to be received 😭 so yes, everybody in the group chat has to read the message before we move on, no leaving anyone on seen.
• cookie — an internal cookie to identify old notifications 🍪 not a snack (sadly), it's the thing that lets you spot the stale ones. main character energy for tracking who's who.
• data — the payload 💜 the actual contents, the little gift inside the box, the part FW refuses to judge. live your truth.

💀 reminder for the girlies: keep it DWORD aligned. that's not a suggestion, that's a lifestyle. and don't stress about endianness here — FW genuinely does not care about the payload.

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 it came from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026, which is so far ahead it's practically time travel 🕰️✨ anyway, struct iwl_...al_rxq_notif(9) forever, byeee 🎀🦋💖
