STRUCT MV_CESA_DEV(9)

🌸 struct mv_cesa_dev(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a little struct page from the kernel docs and honestly it's short but it's mighty. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct mv_cesa_dev — the CESA device, periodt 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct mv_cesa_dev {
    const struct mv_cesa_caps *caps;
    void __iomem *regs;
    struct device *dev;
    unsigned int sram_size;
    spinlock_t lock;
    struct mv_cesa_dev_dma *dma;
    struct mv_cesa_engine engines[];
};

literally copy that exactly, no cap, don't be out here retyping it from memory 😭

---

🦋 Members 🦋

so each field does a thing and here's the tea:

• caps — device capabilities ✨ like what this thing can actually do
• regs — device registers ⭐ the memory-mapped hookup
• sram_size — usable SRAM size 🍓 how much SRAM you can actually use
• lock — device lock 🔒 keep it locked, keep it cute
• dma — dma pools 🌈 the DMA pool situation
• engines — array of engines 👑 that's the whole array of engines right there

ngl the struct also has a struct device *dev; field up in the synopsis and the original member list just... doesn't describe it 🙈 we're not gonna invent lore for it, that's not our business 💀

---

💜 Description 💜

a structure that stores CESA device information. that's it, that's the whole vibe — it's the little home where the CESA device info lives 🏠💖

okay that's the page!! 💅 this one's filed under ./drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa and dated October 2026, and it's about struct mv_cesa_dev(9) in case you forgot already 😭 slay, go read some kernel source bestie 🌸💖✨
