💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to struct staging_state(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is all about tracking the current staging process state — literally the struct's whole job, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct staging_state {
    void __iomem            *mmio_base;
    unsigned int            ucode_len;
    unsigned int            chunk_size;
    unsigned int            bytes_sent;
    unsigned int            offset;
};

• ucode_len — total size of the microcode image, periodt 💅
• chunk_size — size of each data piece, iconic ✨
• bytes_sent — total bytes transmitted so far, tracking the progress fr fr 🔥
• offset — current offset in the microcode image, main character energy 👑
