✨ hypervisor_ppn_add(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's short but it matters. let's get into it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

hypervisor_ppn_add β€” adds a single mksGuestStat instance descriptor to the hypervisor. and like, heads up: any related userspace pages should be pinned in advance. that's not a suggestion, that's a whole prerequisite 🫢


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void hypervisor_ppn_add (PPN64 pfn );

like yes, that's the whole thing. one argument, no return value (void, she gives nothing back and that's her right πŸ‘‘). copy it exactly, no cap.


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • pfn β€” the physical page number of the instance descriptor. that's it, that's the vibe. one physical page number, one descriptor, zero drama ✨

πŸ’€ real talk before you go: pin those related userspace pages first. this function is not gonna do it for you and there's no undo button in the description, bestie. plan ahead πŸ™ˆ

mwah, that's the whole page πŸ“ this little gem comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, stamped October 2026, and it's genuinely giving main character energy for something so smol. go forth and add your PPN, you got this πŸ’–πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸŒˆ
