STRUCT SDW_DEFER(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct sdw_defer — the SDW deferred message, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so picture this: it's a struct, it's living in the kernel, and it's got exactly three things going on inside it 🫶

struct sdw_defer {
    struct sdw_msg *msg;
    int length;
    struct completion complete;
 };

that's the whole thing. no cap, that's it. she's small but she's iconic ✨

🎀 Members 🎀

lowkey a tiny little lineup but every single one of them is doing her job, so let's give them their flowers 🌸

• msg — the SDW message itself 💌 pointer to struct sdw_msg, the actual payload of the operation.
• length — message length 📏 an int, telling you how much message you got.
• complete — message completion 💀 a struct completion, the thing you wait on so you're not just standing there refreshing like an idiot. it's giving "i'll text you when it's done" energy.

k that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this lil beauty lives in ./include/linux/soundwire, dated October 2026, and yes it's still titled struct sdw_defer(9) because we keep the classics. slay, bye 👑✨
