STRUCT MV_CESA_REQ(9)

💜 struct mv_cesa_req(9) 💜

okay so you're reading the Kernel API Manual page for struct mv_cesa_req and honestly? iconic of you. this is the CESA request struct, bestie — it lives in kernel-land and it's lowkey the little glue-y heart of the Marvell crypto engine situation. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct mv_cesa_req — CESA request. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's a request. for CESA. slay 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the shape of it, verbatim, no cap:

struct mv_cesa_req {
    struct mv_cesa_engine *engine;
    struct mv_cesa_tdma_chain chain;
 };

look at her. two fields. main character energy, minimal, does exactly what it says on the tin 🎀

🦋 Members 🦋

• engine — the engine that's associated with this request. like, which engine is running this whole operation. your girl's ride or die, fr fr 💖
• chain — the list of tdma descriptors that are associated with this request. it's giving "a little linked list of dma business" and we love that for it ✨

and that's the page!! footer era: it comes from ./drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa, dated October 2026, and it's officially titled struct mv_cesa_req(9). mwah, periodt 🌈⭐🍓
