STRUCT VDPA_DRIVER(9)

💖 struct vdpa_driver(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for struct vdpa_driver, which is literally the operations-for-a-vDPA-driver situation. no cap, that's the whole name. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct vdpa_driver — operations for a vDPA driver 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the shape of it, verbatim, don't @ me:

struct vdpa_driver {
    struct device_driver driver;
    int (*probe)(struct vdpa_device *vdev);
    void (*remove)(struct vdpa_device *vdev);
 };

ok the trailing }; indentation is exactly what the manpage shows — not me being chaotic, that's just the source vibe 💅

🎀 Members 🎀

• driver — the underlying device driver 🫶 like the base layer of this whole fit.
• probe — the function to call when a device is found. it returns 0 or -errno. yes bestie, that's the whole contract — 0 means slay, -errno means something went sideways 😭
• remove — the function to call when a device is removed. she's the cleanup main character 👑
