okay so welcome to pvr_page_create(9) from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖 this is the lil function that makes a device-virtual memory page and inserts it into a level 0 page table. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pvr_page_create — create a device-virtual memory page and insert it into a level 0 page table. periodt 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int pvr_page_create (struct pvr_mmu_op_context *op_ctx , dma_addr_t
dma_addr , struct pvr_page_flags_raw flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• op_ctx — the target MMU op context, pointing at the device-virtual address of the target page. like, that’s the vibe check for where the page goes 🫶
• dma_addr — the DMA address of the physical page backing the created page. yes bestie, the actual physical-page backing info 💅
• flags — page options saved on the level 0 page table entry for reading by the device. the device gets to read them from there, iykyk ⭐
