STRUCT NITROX_SOFTREQ(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for struct nitrox_softreq(9) in the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it is literally the struct that represents the NIROX Request — yep, NIROX, that's the spelling from the NAME line, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the entire struct, exactly as it appears, so you can vibe-check every single field 🫶:

       struct nitrox_softreq {
           struct list_head response;
           struct list_head backlog;
           u32 flags;
           gfp_t gfp;
           atomic_t status;
           struct nitrox_device *ndev;
           struct nitrox_cmdq *cmdq;
           struct nps_pkt_instr instr;
           struct resp_hdr resp;
           struct nitrox_sgtable in;
           struct nitrox_sgtable out;
           unsigned long tstamp;
           completion_t callback;
           void *cb_arg;
        };

Quick heads-up, bestie: flags, gfp, and status are right there in the struct synopsis, but the Members list below doesn't give them their own little one-liners — I'm not gonna invent descriptions for them, periodt 💜

🎀 Members 🎀

• response — response list entry 🦋
• backlog — Backlog list entry 🎀
• ndev — Device used to submit the request 💻
• cmdq — Command queue for submission 🚀
• instr — 64B instruction 👑
• resp — Response headers 📬
• in — SG table for input out SG table for output 💀 (yes, the source line really runs in and out together like that; I'm keeping the exact info, not making up a separate sentence for out, bestie)
• tstamp — Request submitted time in jiffies ⏱️
• callback — callback after request completion/timeout 📞
• cb_arg — callback argument 🫶
