STRUCT QMI_HANDLE(9)

✨ struct qmi_handle(9) ✨

okay so bestie, picture this: it's struct qmi_handle(9), the QMI context 💅 — and this is from the Kernel API Manual, so you know it's giving main character energy. This lil struct is basically the whole vibe of a QMI client: its socket, its locks, its lists, its callbacks. no cap, it's a lot. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole struct, bestie — copy it exactly, don't touch a character:

struct qmi_handle {
    struct socket *sock;
    struct mutex sock_lock;
    struct sockaddr_qrtr sq;
    struct work_struct work;
    struct workqueue_struct *wq;
    void *recv_buf;
    size_t recv_buf_size;
    struct list_head lookups;
    struct list_head lookup_results;
    struct list_head services;
    struct qmi_ops ops;
    struct idr txns;
    struct mutex txn_lock;
    const struct qmi_msg_handler *handlers;
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so here's the member-by-member vibe check, every single one of them ✨

• sock — the socket handle 🫶
• sock_lock — synchronization of sock modifications. don't be out here modifying sock without it, fr fr
• sq — the sockaddr of sock
• work — the work for handling incoming messages
• wq — the workqueue to post work on
• recv_buf — scratch buffer for handling incoming messages
• recv_buf_size — size of recv_buf (yes bestie, it knows its own size 💅)
• lookups — list of registered lookup requests
• lookup_results — list of lookup-results advertised to the client
• services — list of registered services (by this client)
• ops — reference to callbacks
• txns — outstanding transactions
• txn_lock — lock for modifications of txns 🔒
• handlers — list of handlers for incoming messages

that's the whole tea, bestie 🍓 this one's filed under ./include/linux/soc/qcom, dated October 2026, and it's living in the Kernel API Manual with the title struct qmi_handle(9) — periodt. go forth and QMI responsibly 💖✨
