STRUCT RIO_DBELL(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ¦‹ struct rio_dbell(9) β€” RIO doorbell event πŸ¦‹

Okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about struct rio_dbell β€” the RIO doorbell event. Yes, "doorbell." Like someone ringing to say "hey, something happened," except it's RapidIO and it's a struct. Iconic. πŸ””πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole thing, no cap β€” this is the exact shape of it:

struct rio_dbell {
    struct list_head node;
    struct resource *res;
    void (*dinb) (struct rio_mport *mport, void *dev_id, u16 src, u16
dst, u16 info);
    void *dev_id;
 };

Four members, one callback, zero chill. Let's go through them 🫢


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • node β€” this is the node in the list of doorbell events. It's how this dbell gets chained up with all its little friends. Linked-list energy fr fr 🌸
  • res β€” the doorbell resource. It's a struct resource *, so it's pointing at the actual resource situation. πŸ’œ
  • dinb β€” the doorbell event callback, and the way that this one has a whole signature: it takes a struct rio_mport *mport, a void *dev_id, a u16 src, a u16 dst, and a u16 info. Five things. It's giving very thorough. When the doorbell event goes off, this is what gets called, bestie πŸ“žβœ¨
  • dev_id β€” a device-specific pointer that gets passed on the event. So it's like the little name tag your device wears so dinb knows who's calling. πŸŽ€

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

Go read these next, iykyk β€” the kernel file is ./include/linux/rio.h, and it's hanging out with a whole friend group:

  • struct rio_switch(9)
  • struct rio_switch_ops(9)
  • struct rio_dev(9)
  • struct rio_msg(9)
  • struct rio_mport(9)
  • struct rio_net(9)
  • struct rio_mport_attr(9)
  • struct rio_ops(9)
  • struct rio_driver(9)
  • struct rio_scan(9)
  • struct rio_scan_node(9)

That's eleven cross-references. Eleven. She said "read the whole lore" πŸ’€πŸ“š


Lowkey reminder: this is a struct definition page, so it's describing fields, not options. There's nothing to pass to a command here β€” no flags, no defaults, no exit statuses. Just the shape of the thing, bestie. 🧚

And that's the whole page!! This one came from ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and the page title is struct rio_dbell(9). Slay, go forth and ring those doorbells πŸ’…πŸ””πŸŒˆ
