UNION PDS_CORE_LIF_CONFIG(9)

💅 union pds_core_lif_config(9) — LIF configuration ✨

okay bestie so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, bestie, union pds_core_lif_config(9) is the page we're on) — and it's literally the blueprint for how a LIF's config gets packed up. no cap, it's a union. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

union pds_core_lif_config — LIF configuration 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

union pds_core_lif_config {
    struct {
      u8 state;
      u8 rsvd[3];
      char name[PDS_CORE_IFNAMSIZ];
      u8 rsvd2[12];
      __le64 features;
      __le32 queue_count[PDS_CORE_QTYPE_MAX];
    };
    __le32 words[64];
 };

like, yes, that's the whole thing. it's giving "one union, two ways to look at it" energy 💅

🦋 Members 🦋

💜 {unnamed_struct}

anonymous 🙈 — literally no name, it just exists. main character energy but with zero branding.

🍓 state

LIF state (enum pds_core_lif_state)

🌈 rsvd

Word boundary padding — filler so everything lines up on word boundaries, iykyk ✨

🌸 name

LIF name

🧚 rsvd2

Word boundary padding again — more alignment vibes, more filler, we stan a tidy layout 🎀

🔥 features

LIF features active (enum pds_core_hw_features)

⭐ queue_count

Queue counts per queue-type

👑 words

Full union buffer size — this is the big-picture view of the whole buffer, fr fr

quick vibe check: everything above lives under ./include/linux/pds in the kernel tree, so if you get lost, that's the neighborhood to wander around in 🧚

and that's the page, bestie!! 💖 this lil gem is sourced from ./include/linux/pds and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, future-dated kernel lore, iconic behavior honestly 🌟 mwah, go read the header file, ily, bye 🫶💅
