libnvme(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to libnvme(9) — yes that's the manual name, section 9, we're in the deep lore now 🫶

struct libnvme_mem_huge — literally the huge page memory allocation descriptor, like that's its whole thing, no cap ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct libnvme_mem_huge {
    size_t len;
    bool libnvme_alloc;
    void *p;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• len — size of the allocated buffer, in bytes. that's it, that's the number 📏
• libnvme_alloc — a bool that indicates that p was allocated using libnvme_alloc. it's giving receipts for where the memory came from 👑
• p — pointer to the allocated memory buffer. the main character, the actual address, the whole vibe 💅

🦋 Description 🦋

so this struct describes a memory buffer allocated by libnvme_alloc_huge. lowkey iconic: it stores the allocation metadata required for proper cleanup by libnvme_free_huge. meaning if you free without respecting this lil descriptor, you're on your own bestie 😭 keep the metadata, keep the vibes, let libnvme_free_huge do its thing ✨

fr fr, this is just bookkeeping so cleanup goes right — the struct is the group chat where the allocation info lives 🫶

sign-off time, mwah 💖
