Okay so this is intel_sseu_c...mask_to_user(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly a little icon of a function. Let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
intel_sseu_copy_ssmask_to_user β copies the subslice mask straight into a userspace buffer. That's the whole vibe. No cap π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int intel_sseu_copy_ssmask_to_user (void __user *to , const struct
sseu_dev_info *sseu );
π ARGUMENTS π
toβ pointer to the userspace buffer you're copying into. Like, this is where the good stuff lands π«sseuβ the SSEU structure that's holding the subslice mask you wanna copy. She's the source of truth π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So what she does is: copies the subslice mask into a userspace buffer, in the exact format that the query ioctl's topology queries are expecting. Format match = chef's kiss ππ
And then β and this is the main character part β she returns the result of the copy_to_user operation. Like she's literally just handing you the outcome. Periodt π₯

lowkey a short page but she's efficient and we respect that π
And that's the tea, bestie π This lil page lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt, dated October 2026, and she goes by intel_sseu_c...mask_to_user(9) β ily, go copy some masks β¨ππ
