STRUCT SPI_OFFLOAD(9)

🦋 struct spi_offload 🦋

okay so welcome to the struct spi_offload page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie. this is the offload instance struct and we're gonna get through every lil detail together, no cap 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct spi_offload — offload instance. that's the name, that's the assignment, and honestly it's lowkey iconic.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the struct in all its glory, copied exactly and looking cute:

       struct spi_offload {
           struct device *provider_dev;
           void *priv;
           const struct spi_offload_ops *ops;
           u32 xfer_flags;
        };

---

💅 Members 💅

four members, one struct, zero skips:

• provider_dev — for get/put reference counting. literally its whole job, bestie.
• priv — provider driver private data. stash it here, it's giving private stash energy.
• ops — callbacks for offload support. the little hooks that make it go.
• xfer_flags — SPI_OFFLOAD_XFER_* flags supported by provider. yes, the star flags, periodt.

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go be nosy, bestie:

• Kernel file ./include/linux/spi/offload/types.h — the kernel file, right there.
• struct spi_offload_config(9) — yes bestie, read it.
• struct spi_offload_ops(9) — also read this one, iykyk.
