β¨ intel_vgpu_emulate_cfg_read β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π this one's literally called intel_vgpu_emulate_cfg_read and it does exactly what it says on the tin β it emulates a vGPU configuration space read. iconic behaviour, no notes π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int intel_vgpu_emulate_cfg_read (struct intel_vgpu *vgpu , unsigned int
offset , void *p_data , unsigned int bytes );
like, that's the whole vibe. four args, one int coming back at you π¦
π ARGUMENTS π
vgpuβ the target vgpu, aka the main character of this whole operation πoffsetβ the offset, yes girl that's the one, literally the offset πp_dataβ return data ptr, this is where the read data lands, she's the destination πbytesβ number of bytes to read, so like, how much we're grabbing π₯
β RETURN β
Zero on success π β and a negative error code if it failed π so yeah, check your return value, bestie, fr fr.
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
the kernel file lives right here, go treat yourself:
./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/cfg_space.c
and these absolute icons are in the same friend group:
vgpu_pci_cfg_mem_write(9)intel_vgpu_emulate_cfg_write(9)intel_vgpu_init_cfg_space(9)intel_vgpu_reset_cfg_space(9)
ngl this page is short and sweet and that's the way we like it π read the source, check the return, stay hydrated π§
signed off with love from ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt, dated October 2026, and yeah β this whole thing is literally the intel_vgpu_emulate_cfg_read(9) page, periodt πβ¨
