STRUCT SLIM_VAL_INF(9)

💖 struct slim_val_inf(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for struct slim_val_inf, and yes it's giving "tiny struct, big responsibilities" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct slim_val_inf — the Slimbus value-or-information-element struct. that's literally it. it's the little guy that carries your values around 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct slim_val_inf {
    u16 start_offset;
    u8 num_bytes;
    u8 *rbuf;
    const u8                *wbuf;
    struct completion      *comp;
 };

look at her. five members. no notes. 🔥

🦋 Members 🦋

• start_offset — where the party starts 🎉 this is the starting offset in the information/value element map. iykyk.
• num_bytes — up to 16. and why 16, you ask?? because that's what makes the message fit the slicesize per the SLIMbus spec 🫶 so like, don't go over 16, fr fr.
• rbuf — the buffer you read the values into. your reading-era main character buffer 📖✨
• wbuf — the buffer you write from. note it's a const u8 * bestie, so hands off the contents 💅
• comp — a struct completion for asynchronous operations. important caveat: it's valid only if a TID is required for the transaction — like REQUEST operations. the rest of the transactions are synchronous anyway, so like... chill 😌💀
