STRUCT PDS_CORE_DEV_INIT_CMD(9)

✨ struct pds_core_dev_init_cmd(9) ✨

okay bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a lil struct that officially declares "hey device, wake up and get your queues online." it's giving main character energy for the whole init flow 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct pds_core_dev_init_cmd — Core device initialize. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

struct pds_core_dev_init_cmd {
    u8 opcode;
};

literally one field. minimal. iconic. no cap 💖

🎀 Members 🎀

• opcode — the opcode, and surprise surprise, it's PDS_CORE_CMD_INIT 🔥

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does this thing do? it initializes the core device and sets up the AdminQ and the NotifyQ — yep, both of them, we're doing the whole queue situation ✨

it expects to find initialization data (that's struct pds_core_dev_init_data_in, keep that name in your notes 📝) sitting in cmd_regs->data. so like, don't be surprised when it goes looking for it there, okay?

💀 and listen — the driver should keep the devcmd interface locked while it's preparing the driver info. do not skip this, bestie, fr fr. locked. 🔒
