STRUCT PDS_CORE_DEV_IDENTIFY_CMD(9)
π struct pds_core_dev_identify_cmd(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π β this little page is all about struct pds_core_dev_identify_cmd, aka the driver/device identify command. yes it's a kernel thing. yes it's iconic. let's get into it β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct pds_core_dev_identify_cmd β the Driver/device identify command. that's it, that's the vibe π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
the whole struct, exactly as it lives, no cap:
struct pds_core_dev_identify_cmd {
u8 opcode;
u8 ver;
};
two whole fields. tiny struct, main character energy π
π Members π
okay so here's what's inside, one by one π«Ά
opcodeβ this is the OpcodePDS_CORE_CMD_IDENTIFY. that's literally what it holds πverβ the Highest version of identify supported by driver. highkey important to get right β
π Description π
so what does this thing actually want? it Expects to find driver identification info (that'd be struct pds_core_drv_identity) hanging out in cmd_regs->data π like, that's where it's looking, bestie.
and the Driver should keep the devcmd interface locked while preparing the driver info π β no cap, don't let go of that lock until the info's ready. it's giving "hold the door" energy π
fr fr, keep that devcmd interface locked while you prep the driver info. that part is not optional, it's the whole mood π
π SEE ALSO π
the full friend group, everybody's here, nobody left out π:

okay that's the whole page, bestie π§ and before you close the tab β the fine print at the bottom says this one lives at ./include/linux/pds, dated October 2026, and the footer still calls it struct pds_c...identify_cmd(9) because the terminal's just dramatic like that π slay. bye bestie, go identify some devices πβ¨
