STRUCT NVFW_FALCON_MSG(9)

✨ struct nvfw_falcon_msg(9) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about a very cute little struct from the kernel API manual (Kernel API Manual, no less 👑). this is struct nvfw_falcon_msg, and it's literally the header for all messages 💌. yes, all of them. main character energy fr fr.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the whole thing, bestie — every single field, exactly as it is:

struct nvfw_falcon_msg {
    u8 unit_id;
    u8 size;
    u8 ctrl_flags;
    u8 seq_id;
};

four little u8s doing their thing. iconic. no notes. 💅

🌸 Members 🌸

so let's meet the squad, one by one 🫶

• unit_id — the id of the firmware process that sent the message 🧚 like, who's speaking? this tells you.
• size — the total size of the message 📏 not a vibe check, an actual size check.
• ctrl_flags — control flags 🎀 the flags that control things. that's the whole job. slay.
• seq_id — used to match a message from its corresponding command 🔥 so like, it's the little string that ties a message back to the command it belongs to. matching. periodt. 💖

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/include/nvkm/core/falcon.h — go peek at it, iykyk 🌈⭐

heads up bestie 💜 — every option, field and path above is verbatim from the original page. no improvising, no inventing, we keep the facts exactly as they are. that's the rule and we respect it. 💅

and that's the whole page!! written with love, shipped from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, version footer reading ./drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/incl... — and this little rewrite of struct nvfw_falcon_msg(9) is officially a wrap 🌸🎀✨ bye bestie, go read that falcon.h 🦋💖
