πŸ’– struct sfp_eeprom_id(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil struct page and it's literally just vibes and identification info, i promise it's not scary 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct sfp_eeprom_id β€” raw SFP module identification information πŸ’…

like, the raw, unfiltered, no-makeup identification tea for an SFP module πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sfp_eeprom_id {
    struct sfp_eeprom_base base;
    struct sfp_eeprom_ext ext;
 };

two members, one struct, zero drama πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • base β€” the base SFP module identification structure. the main character of the identification situation ngl πŸ’–
  • ext β€” the extended SFP module identification structure. the bonus lore, the extended cut, the director's commentary 🌈

πŸ’œ Description πŸ’œ

okay so here's the thing β€” for the actual definition of what's inside these structure members, you gotta go look at the SFF-8472 specification and the related documents πŸ‘€ that's where all the real detail lives, this page is not gonna spell it out for you and honestly? respect.

and you can get that spec from:

https://www.snia.org/technology-communities/sff/specifications

go get your reading glasses on, bestie, it's giving homework but make it ✨specification✨ πŸ“š


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

  • Kernel file ./include/linux/sfp.h β€” struct sfp_module_caps(9), struct sfp_upstream_ops(9)

like go read those too, they're lowkey part of the same friend group πŸ’€πŸ«Ά


no cap, this page is short but every single word of it is load-bearing. the spec is the source of truth, we're just the signpost πŸŽ€

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌸 source lives over in ./include/linux and this lil icon was dated October 2026 β€” periodt, slay, go identify some modules πŸ’…βœ¨πŸ¦‹
