PV(4)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the PV(4) page from the Kernel Interfaces Manual — this is all about the paravirtual device tree root, and yes, it's iconic ✨

• pv — paravirtual device tree root 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pv* at pvbus?

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the pv driver is used on virtual machines that are running on hypervisors. It provides a pseudo-bus for all paravirtual devices that do not attach to a well-known bus like pci(4). Literally that's the vibe: pseudo-bus for the paravirtual girlies that don't have a well-known bus to sit with 💅
