okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for iommu_group_get_iommudata(9) β€” yes, that's the whole title, and yes, we're gonna get through it together. it's giving very specific kernel lore, and honestly? iconic. πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

iommu_group_get_iommudata β€” retrieve the iommu_data registered for a group. yep, that's literally the whole vibe: you got a group, it got some data registered on it, and this function hands it back to you. 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void * iommu_group_get_iommudata (struct iommu_group *group );

🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • group β€” the group. that's it. that's the argument. the group in question, periodt. πŸ’–

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the tea: iommu drivers can store data in the group for use when doing iommu operations. like, they stash their little iommu_data situation in there for later. this function is literally the retrieval hook for that data β€” it provides a way to retrieve it. no cap.

bestie, important: the caller should hold a group reference. don't be out here skipping that, fr fr. 😭
