num_pads

Number of sink and source pads.

internal_idx

An unique internal entity specific number. The numbers are re-used if entities are unregistered or registered again.

info

stream_count and use_count reference counts must never be negative, but are signed integers on purpose: a simple WARN_ON(<0) check can be used to detect reference count bugs that would make them negative.
