STRUCT MV_CESA_SKCIPHER_REQ(9)

🦋 struct mv_cesa_skcipher_req(9) — cipher request 🦋

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a struct page, so it's short and sweet but every single field matters. it's giving "small but mighty" energy. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct mv_cesa_skcipher_req — literally just the cipher request struct. that's the whole vibe. a request, but for ciphers. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the shape of it, no cap, copy it exact:

struct mv_cesa_skcipher_req {
    struct mv_cesa_req base;
    struct mv_cesa_skcipher_std_req std;
    int src_nents;
    int dst_nents;
 };

look at that. four members. clean. iconic. 🫶

---

💖 Members 💖

• src_nents — the number of entries in the src sg list. yes queen, that's the source scatterlist count, fr fr. 🍓
• dst_nents — the number of entries in the dest sg list. the destination side of the story, matching energy, periodt. ✨

like i said. a whole friend group. mingle a little. 🌈

heads up bestie: the base and std members show up in the synopsis but the manual doesn't describe them here — so don't go making stuff up about them, okay? read the SEE ALSO list instead 💀

and that's the page!! 💜 this came out of the ./drivers/crypto/marvell/cesa corner of the kernel, dated October 2026, and yeah — it's struct mv_cesa_skcipher_req(9) all the way down. slay, go read your headers. 🧚⭐
