__vmbus_driver_register(9) 💖✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is all about registering a vmbus driver, and it’s lowkey iconic. no cap, let’s get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

__vmbus_driver_register — register a vmbus’s driver 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int __vmbus_driver_register (struct hv_driver *hv_driver , struct module
       *owner , const char *mod_name );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hv_driver — pointer to the driver structure you want to register. that’s the main character right there 💖
• owner — owner module of the drv. yes, drv, we’re keeping it exactly like that 😌
• mod_name — module name string. just the name, being cute and stringy ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what this does is register the given driver with Linux through the driver_register call, and it sets up the hyper-v vmbus handling for this driver. it’s giving “introductions but make it kernel-level” 💅

and bestie, it will return the state of the driver_register call. periodt. 🔥
