STRUCT NFP_FL_NFT_TC_MERGE(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct nfp_fl_nft_tc_merge(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that manual. This struct is literally the merge of tc_merge flows with nft flow. That’s the whole NAME moment. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here’s the exact shape, no edits, no cap:

struct nfp_fl_nft_tc_merge {
    struct net_device *netdev;
    unsigned long cookie[3];
    struct rhash_head hash_node;
    struct nfp_fl_ct_zone_entry *zt;
    struct list_head nft_flow_list;
    struct list_head tc_merge_list;
    struct nfp_fl_ct_tc_merge *tc_m_parent;
    struct nfp_fl_ct_flow_entry *nft_parent;
    unsigned long tc_flower_cookie;
    struct nfp_fl_payload *flow_pay;
    struct nfp_fl_ct_flow_entry *next_pre_ct_entry;
};

• cookie — Flow cookie, combination of tc_merge and nft cookies. iykyk.
• hash_node — Used by the hashtable. lowkey doing hashtable things.
• zt — Reference to the zone table this belongs to. main character reference energy.
• nft_flow_list — This entry is part of a nft_flows_list. periodt.
• tc_merge_list — This entry is part of a ct_merge_list. slay.
• tc_m_parent — The tc_merge parent. yes, the parent.
• nft_parent — The nft_entry parent. also parent. 💖
• tc_flower_cookie — The cookie of the flow offloaded to the nfp. 🍓
• flow_pay — Reference to the offloaded flow struct. it’s giving reference.
• next_pre_ct_entry — Reference to the next ct zone pre ct entry. literally next.
