How to pass global user defined structures to each callbacks libwebsockets C - c

Question

im not sure if this related to lws but i just can't find way to pass global structure which holds its values between the callbacks .
the simple story is that i have simple hashtable in C
https://github.com/cgjones/android-system-core/blob/master/libcutils/hashmap.c
i try to explain in the example :
i have the main :
//HERE I DEFINE IT AS GLOBAL
Hashmap *users_map;
static struct lws_protocols protocols[] = {
{
"wsapi",
callback_wsapi,
sizeof(struct per_session_data__apigataway),
128,
} ,
{ NULL, NULL, 0, 0 } /* terminator */
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct lws_context_creation_info info;
//HERE i init the hash map
users_map = hashmapCreate(10, str_hash_fn, str_eq);
memset(&info, 0, sizeof info);
info.port = server_port;
info.protocols = protocols;
...
info.options = opts | LWS_SERVER_OPTION_LIBUV;
context = lws_create_context(&info);
if (lws_uv_initloop(context, NULL, 0)) {
lwsl_err("lws_uv_initloop failed\n");
goto bail;
}
uv_timer_init(lws_uv_getloop(context, 0), &timeout_watcher);
uv_timer_start(&timeout_watcher, main_loop_count_callback, 1000, 1000);
lws_libuv_run(context, 0);
return 0;
}
and this is the callback_wsapi C file i removed allot of code just to show the important stuff
//HERE I SET IT AS EXTERN SO IT WILL BE VISIBLE TO ALL
extern Hashmap *users_map;
int
callback_iogame(struct lws *wsi, enum lws_callback_reasons reason,
void *user, void *in, size_t len)
{
unsigned char out[LWS_PRE + 512];
struct per_session_data__apigataway *pss =
(struct per_session_data__apigataway *)user;
switch (reason) {
case LWS_CALLBACK_ESTABLISHED:
break;
case LWS_CALLBACK_SERVER_WRITEABLE:
{
//HERE IT LOSSING SCOPE AND THE HASHMAP NOT INITIALIZED
int bfor2 = hashmapSize(users_map);
break;
}
case LWS_CALLBACK_RECEIVE:
{
char* client_req_str;
client_req_str = (char*)in;
if (strncmp((const char *)client_req_str, "player\n",6) == 0)
{
//ON THE FIRST REQUEST FROM THE CLINET IT WORKS
int bfor = hashmapSize(users_map);
hashmapPut(users_map, pss->id, pss);
int after = hashmapSize(users_map);
}
//Only invoke callback back to client when baby client is ready to eat
lws_callback_on_writable(wsi);
break;
}
case LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_PROTOCOL_CONNECTION:
break;
case LWS_CALLBACK_WS_PEER_INITIATED_CLOSE:
break;
default:
break;
}
So i can get the hashmap only in the first request when it gets to : LWS_CALLBACK_RECEIVE
then it just losing scope .
Questions :
1. How can i make this hashmap global to the callbacks ? it supposed to hold the server total users .
