kvm_is_ifetch_fault(9) ✨🦋

okay so bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it's short but iconic. It answers the very specific question: is this TLBL exception due to an ifetch fault? 👑

NAME 💖

kvm_is_ifetch_fault — Find whether a TLBL exception is due to ifetch fault.

SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool kvm_is_ifetch_fault (struct kvm_vcpu_arch *vcpu );

ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • vcpu — Virtual CPU. That's the whole argument, no cap.

RETURN ⭐

Whether the TLBL exception was likely due to an instruction fetch fault rather than a data load fault. It returns a bool, so yeah, yes/no energy.

SEE ALSO 👀

  • Kernel file ./arch/mips/include/asm/kvm_host.h — literally the reference, go look.

mwah 💋 source/version: ./arch/mips/include/asm; date: October 2026. That's the cute sign-off, bestie 🎀
