STRUCT QCE_CIPHER_REQCTX(9)

💅 struct qce_cipher_reqctx(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for struct qce_cipher_reqctx — yes, the 9 means it's a kernel-space page, we're in the big leagues now 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct qce_cipher_reqctx — holds private cipher objects per request 🫶

like, every single request gets its own lil private stash of cipher stuff. main character energy, honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct qce_cipher_reqctx {
    unsigned long flags;
    u8 *iv;
    unsigned int ivsize;
    int src_nents;
    int dst_nents;
    struct scatterlist result_sg;
    struct sg_table dst_tbl;
    struct scatterlist *dst_sg;
    struct scatterlist *src_sg;
    unsigned int cryptlen;
    struct skcipher_request fallback_req;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct, copy it exactly, do not come for me about the spacing 💀

🦋 Members 🦋

• flags — operation flags ✨ the vibe check for what this request is doing
• iv — pointer to the IV 💜 literally just pointing at the initialization vector
• ivsize — IV size 📏 how big that IV is
• src_nents — source entries 🍓 the number of source entries
• dst_nents — destination entries 🌈 the number of destination entries
• result_sg — scatterlist used for result buffer 🎀 this scatterlist is the one doing result-buffer duty
• dst_tbl — destination sg table 👑 the destination sg table, periodt
• dst_sg — destination sg pointer table beginning ⭐ where the destination sg pointer table starts
• src_sg — source sg pointer table beginning 🌸 where the source sg pointer table starts (the original even left a lil ; here, iconic)
• cryptlen — crypto length 🔥 how long the crypto is, fr fr

lowkey a reminder that this is the place to look when you're digging through the qce cipher driver and wondering what all these fields are for 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie 💅 this came from ./drivers/crypto/qce, dated October 2026, and it's the struct qce_cipher_reqctx(9) page — slay, you're welcome, mwah 🫶✨
