STRUCT MEI_ME_CLIENT(9)

✨ struct mei_me_client(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of struct mei_me_client — straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the (9) is the section, that's just how kernel pages roll 💅). this is the lil struct that's literally the representation of me (fw) client — main character energy for a firmware client, no cap 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, don't touch a single character:

struct mei_me_client {
    struct list_head list;
    struct kref refcnt;
    struct mei_client_properties props;
    u8 client_id;
    u8 tx_flow_ctrl_creds;
    u8 connect_count;
    u8 bus_added;
 };

like... look at her. seven members, all iconic, all doing their job 🫶

🎀 Members 🎀

• list — the link in the me client list 🔗 she's literally holding the group chat together.
• refcnt — a struct reference count ✨ classic kernel refcount behaviour, keep it balanced or it's giving leak.
• props — client properties 🧚 the whole personality, basically.
• client_id — me client id 🪪 her little name tag.
• tx_flow_ctrl_creds — flow control credits 💸 the budget, bestie. spend wisely.
• connect_count — number connections to this client 🔥 how many people are in her DMs, fr fr.
• bus_added — added to bus 🚌 she's on the bus now, and she is the moment.
