STRUCT NFP_FL_LAG(9)

💅 struct nfp_fl_lag(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally all about struct nfp_fl_lag — bestie, it's giving Flower APP private data for link aggregation 🎀 like that's the whole vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nfp_fl_lag — Flower APP priv data for link aggregation. that's it, that's the girl 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nfp_fl_lag {
    struct delayed_work work;
    struct mutex lock;
    struct list_head group_list;
    struct ida ida_handle;
    unsigned int pkt_num;
    unsigned int batch_ver;
    u8 global_inst;
    bool rst_cfg;
    struct sk_buff_head retrans_skbs;
};

no cap, that's the whole struct right there 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

• work — a work queue for writing configs to the HW. it's the one actually doing the deliveries, iconic behavior honestly 💜
• lock — the lock that protects lag_group_list. yes bestie, she's a bodyguard 😭 keep her close.
• group_list — the list of all the master/slave groups that got offloaded. the whole friend group, fr fr 🌸
• ida_handle — the IDA that handles group ids. someone's gotta assign the numbers 🔢
• pkt_num — gets incremented for each config packet sent. keeping count like a main character keeping receipts 👑
• batch_ver — gets incremented for each batch of config packets. one bump per batch, periodt ✨
• global_inst — the instance allocator for groups. she's handing out instances like party invites 🎀
• rst_cfg — a marker to reset the HW LAG config. lowkey the "start over" button 🫣
• retrans_skbs — Cmsgs that could not be processed by the HW and require retransmission. like when the group chat eats your message and you gotta send it again, except it's kernel control messages 💀
