STRUCT RPMSG_NS_MSG(9)

💖 NAME 💖

bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct rpmsg_ns_msg — and yes, it's the dynamic name service announcement message. That's the whole vibe, and it's honestly kind of iconic. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct rpmsg_ns_msg {
           char name[RPMSG_NAME_SIZE];
           __rpmsg32 addr;
           __rpmsg32 flags;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• name — the name of the remote service that is published. literally the service's name tag 💅
• addr — the address of the remote service that is published. where it lives, bestie 📍
• flags — indicates whether the service is created or destroyed. cute little status flag energy 🚩

🌸 Description 🌸

okay so this message is sent across to publish a new service, or to announce about its removal. when we receive these messages, an appropriate rpmsg channel (i.e device) is created/destroyed. in turn, the ->probe or ->remove handler of the appropriate rpmsg driver will be invoked — if/as-soon-as one is registered. no cap, that's the whole flow 🦋

bestie note: ->probe and ->remove are doing main character energy here, but only if/as-soon-as a driver is registered. periodt.
