STRUCT SCI_UF_ADDRESS_TABLE_ARRAY(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ¦‹ struct sci_uf_address_table_array(9) πŸ¦‹

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil struct page from the kernel's own docs, and it's honestly shorter than a TikTok attention span, so let's get into it πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

struct sci_uf_address_table_array β€” that's it, that's the name, no description attached, the NAME line just kinda trails off into the void 😭 iconic behaviour honestly


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole shape of her, no cap:

struct sci_uf_address_table_array {
    u64 *array;
    dma_addr_t physical_address;
 };

so she's a two-field girly: an array that's a pointer to u64, and a physical_address of type dma_addr_t. that's the entire struct, she's lowkey minimalist 🫢


πŸ’– Members πŸ’–

the members section is genuinely empty up top β€” no member descriptions listed here, so there's nothing to read, and I refuse to invent any πŸ‘‘ (the fields themselves are right there in the SYNOPSIS tho, so you're not missing anything, iykyk)


🌸 Description 🌸

okay so here's the tea β˜• this object maintains all of the unsolicited frame address table specific data. literally all of it, she's the main character of that data πŸ’…

and what even is the address table? it's a collection of 64-bit pointers ✨ and those pointers point to 1KB buffers β€” and that's where the silicon will DMA unsolicited frames into 🧚 so like, the hardware yeets frames into those buffers and this table is the little map of where they live. slay.
