STRUCT SST_BLOCK(9)
π struct sst_block(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β today's main character is struct sst_block, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct sst_block β literally the structure used to block a user/fw data call to another fw/user call. that's it, that's her job, and she does it flawlessly. no cap. π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct sst_block {
bool condition;
int ret_code;
void *data;
u32 size;
bool on;
u32 msg_id;
u32 drv_id;
struct list_head node;
};
look at that struct. iconic. every field accounted for, not a single one skipped, we love a complete layout. β¨
π Members π
conditionβ the condition for the blocking check. yes bestie, she's checking whether we block or not. πret_codeβ the ret code that gets handed back when the block is released. it's giving "here's your receipt, you're free to go". π§Ύdataβ data ptr. just a pointer to the data, doing pointer things. π¦sizeβ size of data. the whole "how much" of the situation. πonβ block condition. the on/off of the blocking vibe check. π₯msg_idβ lowkey the important one:msg_id = msgid in mfld/ctp, mrfld = NULL. keeping that exactly as written, don't come for me. πdrv_idβstr_id in mfld/ctp, = drv_id in mrfld. fr fr, that's the mapping, memorize it. πnodeβ list head node. every struct needs a little linked-list moment. β

go read those next, bestie, it's the whole friend group and they all slay. π
ngl this page is short but she's still the moment. treat your blocking checks with respect and she'll treat you right. π
and that's the tea! π this lil' page came from ./sound/soc/intel/atom/sst, dated October 2026 β screenshot it, cite it, tag me in it. mwah! πβ¨π
