irdma_get_pbl(9)

💅 irdma_get_pbl — Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to irdma_get_pbl, page 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? She's a little lookup queen and I'm obsessed. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

irdma_get_pbl — retrieve pbl from a list given a virtual address. that's it, that's the whole vibe: you hand her a virtual address, she goes digging through a list, and she comes back with the pbl. no cap. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct irdma_pbl * irdma_get_pbl (unsigned long va , struct list_head
*pbl_list );

like, look at her. returns a struct irdma_pbl *, takes a va and a pbl_list, and she's out. periodt. 👑

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• va — user virtual address. this is the address you're searching for, the main character of the whole operation tbh. 🫶
• pbl_list — pbl list to search in (QP's or CQ's). yes bestie, either one — QP's or CQ's, the list is the list. 💅

ngl there are only two arguments here and that's genuinely iconic of her. lowkey efficient. ⭐

she also wants you to know the kernel file lives at ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c — go say hi to the source, she doesn't bite. 💖

iykyk: there is no extra lore on this page. no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no bugs section, no author credits — just the name, the signature, the two arguments, and a truly enormous friend group. and that's valid. 🦋

🌸 that's the whole page bestie, you ate it up. this one comes from ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma, dated October 2026, and it's page irdma_get_pbl(9) of the Kernel API Manual — so go get that pbl, queen. 💜🎀✨
