STRUCT NFP_FL_CT_TC_MERGE(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie, and today's main character is struct nfp_fl_ct_tc_merge(9) — literally the merge of two flows from tc. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct nfp_fl_ct_tc_merge {
    unsigned long cookie[2];
    struct rhash_head hash_node;
    struct list_head pre_ct_list;
    struct list_head post_ct_list;
    struct nfp_fl_ct_zone_entry *zt;
    struct nfp_fl_ct_flow_entry *pre_ct_parent;
    struct nfp_fl_ct_flow_entry *post_ct_parent;
    struct list_head children;
 };

🌸 MEMBERS 🌸

• cookie — the flow cookie, and no cap it's a combination of the pre and post ct cookies. both of them. iconic packaging fr 💅
• hash_node — used by the hashtable. that's the gig, she's a hashtable girlie 🫶
• pre_ct_list — this entry is part of a pre_ct_list, yes she contains a list and is also in a list, we love a multitasker ✨
• post_ct_list — this entry is part of a post_ct_list too. same energy, different list 💖
• zt — reference to the zone table this belongs to. if you're lost, ask zt, she knows where you live 👑
• pre_ct_parent — the pre_ct_parent. she said what she said 🎀
• post_ct_parent — the post_ct_parent. equally self-explanatory, equally serving 🌈
• children — list of nft merged entries. it's giving big family energy, it's giving mother of dragons 🦋

okay that's the page bestie, tysm for reading 🥹 this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/netrono... and she's stamped October 2026, still slaying in struct nfp_fl_ct_tc_merge(9) form. mwah 💋 🎀🌸💖
