STRUCT NFP_IPV6_ADDR_ENTRY(9)

💅 struct nfp_ipv6_addr_entry(9) — cached IPv6 addresses

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and lemme tell you about this lil struct that is literally just a cache of IPv6 addresses 🦋. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she holds onto IPv6 addrs so nobody has to look them up again, and honestly? iconic behavior.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nfp_ipv6_addr_entry {
    struct in6_addr ipv6_addr;
    int ref_count;
    struct list_head list;
 };

like, look at her. three fields. no notes. 🎀

🌸 MEMBERS 🌸

• ipv6_addr — the IP address itself, fr fr. this is the actual IPv6 addr we're caching, the main character of the whole struct 👑
• ref_count — the number of rules currently using this IP, no cap. it's the counter keeping track of how many things are still vibing with this address 💅
• list — a list pointer. that's it, that's the description. she points at a list. lowkey mysterious but we respect it 🫶
