irdma_get_pble(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🩵 NAME 🩵

irdma_get_pble — bestie, this is the one that allocates pbles from the prm ✨

okay so quick vibe check: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the whole personality of it is "hand me some pbles out of the prm, please and thank you" 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int irdma_get_pble (struct irdma_hmc_pble_rsrc *pble_rsrc , struct
irdma_pble_alloc *palloc , u32 pble_cnt , u8 lvl );

literally the whole function, no cap. four args, returns an int, that's the tea 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pble_rsrc — the pble resources 💖 this is the pool situation you're pulling from
  • palloc — contains all the information regarding the pble (idx + pble addr) 🦋 like, it's the container that holds the details, both the idx and the pble address
  • pble_cnt — the # of pbles requested, i.e. how many you want, bestie, be honest 🌈
  • lvl — the requested pble level mask ⭐
not me staring at u32 and u8 like they're the main characters, because honestly? they are 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives right here, iconic of it:

  • ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/pble.c

and the whole friend group 🫶:

like, the lvl1 and lvl2 girlies really said "we come as a set" 💀💜

and that's the page, bestie 🎀 the source lives at ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma, the date on it is October 2026, and it'll answer to the name irdma_get_pble(9) — slay, go allocate responsibly 👑✨
