STRUCT MRAID_HBA_INFO(9)
π struct mraid_hba_info(9) β like, the whole kernel API manual moment
okay bestie, welcome to struct mraid_hba_info(9) β¨ this is the page that tells you everything about the controller β like, who it is, where it lives, and how many bytes it's serving. let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct mraid_hba_info β literally just information about the controller π that's the whole vibe.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
here's the shape of it, no cap, exact copy:
struct mraid_hba_info {
uint16_t pci_vendor_id;
uint16_t pci_device_id;
uint16_t subsys_vendor_id;
uint16_t subsys_device_id;
uint64_t baseport;
uint8_t pci_bus;
uint8_t pci_dev_fn;
uint8_t pci_slot;
uint8_t irq;
uint32_t unique_id;
uint32_t host_no;
uint8_t num_ldrv;
};
π Members π
okay so each field, one by one, main character energy β¨
pci_vendor_idβ the PCI vendor id π·οΈ like, whose card is thispci_device_idβ the PCI device id π³ the specific model situationsubsys_vendor_idβ (the page doesn't give a one-liner for this one π but it's auint16_tand it's right there in the struct)subsys_device_idβ (same deal, no blurb on this page, it's auint16_tπΈ)baseportβ base port of hba memory π₯ the starting address vibepci_busβ PCI bus π yes literally the bus, iconicpci_dev_fnβ PCI device/function values π§ the dev/fn pairpci_slotβ (no description given here π it's auint8_tand it's a slot, that's all we get)irqβ interrupt vector for the device β‘ the "hey notice me" signalunique_idβ (no blurb on this page, it's auint32_t, and yes it's unique π)host_noβ (also no blurb here,uint32_t, host number shaped)num_ldrvβ (no description given,uint8_t, and the name is giving "number of ldrv" π but the page doesn't spell it out so i'm not gonna)
π Description π
so this thing is extended information of 256 bytes about the controller π 256 bytes, exact, not vibes-based.
and the alignment tea: it's aligned on the single byte boundary so that 32-bit applications can run on 64-bit platform drivers without re-compilation π«Ά like, compatibility slay, no rebuild needed, we love to see it.
β NOTE β
listen up bestie, this one's a real rule π whenever new fields get added, reduce the number of reserved bytes so the total size of the structure stays at 256 bytes. periodt. don't let it grow π
