STRUCT PDS_CORE_LIF_IDENTITY(9)

💅 NAME

struct pds_core_lif_identity — the LIF identity information, and bestie it's the type-specific kind 👑

(also, hi, this is the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to go through it together 🫶)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

okay so the struct literally looks like this, no notes, don't touch the spacing:

struct pds_core_lif_identity {
    __le64 features;
    u8 version;
    u8 hw_index;
    u8 rsvd[2];
    __le32 max_nb_sessions;
    u8 rsvd2[120];
    union pds_core_lif_config config;
 };

like… it's giving "small struct, big padding" energy and I respect it 💀

---

🎀 Members 🎀

time for the member-by-member vibe check, every single one, no skipping 🌸

• features — the LIF features, and if you wanna know which ones, go look at enum pds_core_hw_features iykyk
• version — identifies the structure version 📌
• hw_index — the LIF hardware index 👑
• rsvd — word boundary padding, just chillin', doing alignment work 🧚
• max_nb_sessions — maximum number of sessions supported, like a guest list with a hard cap 🎟️
• rsvd2 — buffer padding, bestie is padding, that's the whole job 💅
• config — the LIF config struct, and it comes with features + q counts ✨
