STRUCT VME_DRIVER(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct vme_driver — okay bestie, this is the structure that represents a VME driver, and it's kind of a big deal 👑

This is page struct vme_driver(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and we're gonna get into it ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole struct, laid out exactly how the kernel wants it, no cap:

struct vme_driver {
    const char *name;
    int (*match)(struct vme_dev *vdev);
    int (*probe)(struct vme_dev *vdev);
    void (*remove)(struct vme_dev *vdev);
    struct device_driver driver;
    struct list_head devices;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• name — the driver's name, and it should be unique among VME drivers. Usually it's just the same as the module name. iykyk 🌸
• match — the callback that decides whether probe should even be run. it's giving vibe check but for devices 💅
• probe — the callback for device binding. it gets called when a new device is detected. main character energy fr 🔥
• remove — the callback that gets called when the device is removed 🫶
• driver — the underlying generic device driver structure. the support system, lowkey essential 💜
• devices — the list of VME devices (struct vme_dev) that are associated with this driver. obsessed with a tidy little list 🎀

okay that's the whole page, you ate that honestly 💅 no notes. this cutie came from ./drivers/staging/vme_user, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct vme_driver(9) in the Kernel API Manual — go be iconic with it bestie 🌟🍓
