✨ NAME ✨

rte_memseg_list

that's it. that's the name. short, iconic, no notes. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta pull her in:

#include <rte_memory.h>

🎀 Data Fields 🎀

here's the little squad of fields hanging out in the synopsis:

• uint64_t page_sz
• int socket_id
• volatile uint32_t version
• size_t len
• unsigned int external
• unsigned int heap

---

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

so memseg list is lowkey a special case, because we need to store a whole bunch of other data right there together with the array itself. she's not just an array, she's an array and her little accessories. main character energy fr fr. ✨

💜 Field Documentation 💜

🌈 void* base_va

Base virtual address for this memseg list. the origin point, the home base, the where-it-all-starts. 💫

Definition at line 69 of file rte_memory.h.

🌈 uint64_t addr_64

Makes sure addr is always 64-bits. she said consistency or nothing, no cap. 🔥

Definition at line 71 of file rte_memory.h.

🌈 uint64_t page_sz

Page size for all memsegs in this list. every single one of them. same size. uniform. slay. 👑

Definition at line 74 of file rte_memory.h.

🌈 int socket_id

Socket ID for all memsegs in this list. where they live, basically. 🏠

Definition at line 75 of file rte_memory.h.

🌈 volatile uint32_t version

version number for multiprocess sync. notice the volatile bestie — she's being watched across processes, she can change on you at any moment, do not get comfy. 😭

Definition at line 76 of file rte_memory.h.

🌈 size_t len

Length of memory area covered by this memseg list. how much she covers. the reach. the range. 🦋

Definition at line 77 of file rte_memory.h.

🌈 unsigned int external

1 if this list points to external memory. just 1. zero or one, that's the whole vibe. 💅

Definition at line 78 of file rte_memory.h.

🌈 unsigned int heap

1 if this list points to a heap. same deal, 1 means yes. 🍓

Definition at line 79 of file rte_memory.h.
