💅 kvm_vgic_set_owner(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for kvm_vgic_set_owner(9) — yes, the title and manual name are right here, folded in like a fresh fit. Let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

kvm_vgic_set_owner — Set the owner of an interrupt for a VM.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int kvm_vgic_set_owner (struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu , unsigned int intid ,
       void *owner );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vcpu — Pointer to the VCPU (used for PPIs). Like, the vCPU context bestie, specifically for PPIs.
• intid — The virtual INTID identifying the interrupt (PPI or SPI). That's the interrupt ID, and it can be a PPI or an SPI.
• owner — Opaque pointer to the owner. We don't peek inside, it's opaque, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns 0 if intid is not already used by another in-kernel device and the owner is set, otherwise returns an error code.

no cap: if that intid is already taken by another in-kernel device, you don't get 0 — you get an error code. The owner only gets set when the coast is clear 💖
