kvmppc_gsb_send_data(9)

💖 kvmppc_gsb_send_data — a whole vibe 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is short but she is iconic, and honestly sometimes short and iconic is the whole point. we're talking about a little function from the powerpc side of the kernel house 🦋 and by the end of this page you're gonna know exactly what she does. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kvmppc_gsb_send_data — flexibly send values from a guest state buffer 💅

like, she's flexible. she's sending. she's from a guest state buffer. the way that sentence ate and left no crumbs.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int kvmppc_gsb_send_data (struct kvmppc_gs_buff *gsb , struct
kvmppc_gs_msg *gsm );

so yeah, she takes two things and hands you back an int — that's the shape of it, fr fr 🎀

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gsb — the guest state buffer 🫶 literally the buffer. the guest state lives here.
• gsm — the guest state message 💌 the message. also guest state. you see the pattern, i see the pattern, we all see the pattern.

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Sends the guest state values included in the guest state message.

that's it. that's the sentence. she does not overexplain, she does not ramble, she simply sends the values that are in the message 🔥 main character energy, honestly. the values are in the guest state message, and they get sent. periodt. 💜

look at that roster 😭 every single one of them showed up, dressed correctly, on time. we love a complete guest list 🧚

and yes, kvmppc_gsb_receive_data(9) is at the end there — she's the sister function, the one who receives, and honestly the duality is giving 💅

that's the whole page bestie!! tiny page, huge aura ✨ this one lives under ./arch/powerpc/include/asm and the manual dates itself to October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future and she's still just sending values. obsessed 🍓 byeee 💖🦋🌟
