STRUCT NFP_FL_CT_ZONE_ENTRY(9)

💖 struct nfp_fl_ct_zone_entry(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct nfp_fl_ct_zone_entry — and ngl, the name is doing the absolute most, but it's lowkey iconic because this is the struct that holds all your conntrack flow info for one zone. she's the main character of zone bookkeeping, periodt ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nfp_fl_ct_zone_entry — the zone entry that keeps all the conntrack flow information together, like a little group chat with a very specific membership 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nfp_fl_ct_zone_entry {
    u16 zone;
    struct rhash_head hash_node;
    struct nfp_flower_priv *priv;
    struct nf_flowtable *nft;
    struct list_head pre_ct_list;
    unsigned int pre_ct_count;
    struct list_head post_ct_list;
    unsigned int post_ct_count;
    struct rhashtable tc_merge_tb;
    unsigned int tc_merge_count;
    struct list_head nft_flows_list;
    unsigned int nft_flows_count;
    struct rhashtable nft_merge_tb;
    unsigned int nft_merge_count;
 };

look at her. so many fields. so organized. we love a structured queen 👑

🎀 MEMBERS 🎀

• zone — the zone number, and it's literally the lookup key in the hashtable. she's the vibe check of the whole struct 💅
• hash_node — used by the hashtable. just doing hashtable things, no thoughts head empty 🌈
• priv — pointer to the nfp_flower_priv data 🔥
• nft — pointer to the nf_flowtable for this zone 🦋
• pre_ct_list — the pre_ct_list of nfp_fl_ct_flow_entry entries. yes, a list named list holding entries, we stan a self-aware field 🍓
• pre_ct_count — keeps count of the number of pre_ct entries. she's keeping score fr fr 💀
• post_ct_list — the post_ct_list of nfp_fl_ct_flow_entry entries 💜
• post_ct_count — keeps count of the number of post_ct entries ✨
• tc_merge_tb — the table of merged tc flows 👑
• tc_merge_count — keeps count of the number of merged tc entries ⭐
• nft_flows_list — the list of nft related nfp_fl_ct_flow_entry entries 🌸
• nft_flows_count — keeps count of the number of nft_flow entries 🎀
• nft_merge_tb — the table of merged tc+nft flows 🔥
• nft_merge_count — keeps count of the number of merged tc+nft entries 💖

bestie reminder: that's the whole page, no cap, nothing skipped 💯

and that's a wrap, mwah 💋 — this came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/netrono... and it's dated October 2026, so like, future icon behavior honestly. bye pookie, go read your conntrack header 🧚‍♀️💜
