pt_index_to_va(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ pt_index_to_va ✨

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — and it's literally the glow-up moment for range->va 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

pt_index_to_va — update range->va to the current pts->index. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it beautifully 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void pt_index_to_va (struct pt_state *pts );

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • pts — the iteration state. yes bestie, that one. she's holding the state, you're just here for the vibes 🌈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function adjusts range->va so it matches the current index. iconic behaviour, no notes.

and the way it does it?? lazily 💀. like, on purpose. because computing the VA takes several instructions and it's rarely required — so why would you do all that work up front? you wouldn't. you'd let it happen later. that's called being efficient and it's giving main character energy fr fr 👑

lowkey important detail: "lazy" here is not a bug, bestie — it's the whole design. don't @ me.

and the kernel file where she actually lives: ./drivers/iommu/generic_pt/pt_iter.h 📂✨

sign-off time 🎀 so this whole page comes straight out of ./drivers/iommu/generic_pt, dated October 2026, living in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — pt_index_to_va(9), slay, bye bestie 💜🦋
