rproc_add_carveout(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 rproc_add_carveout — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so you're here for rproc_add_carveout(9), which lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual (that's the kernel-internals girlies 💅). Sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

rproc_add_carveout — register an allocated carveout region 🌸

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

void rproc_add_carveout (struct rproc *rproc , struct rproc_mem_entry *mem );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rproc — the rproc handle, your main character reference to the remote processor 👑
  • mem — the memory entry you're registering, ie the thing you're putting on the list 💫

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So this function registers the memory entry you pass in (mem) into the rproc carveouts list. That's it. That's the whole vibe. ✨

⚠️ but like, heads up bestie: the carveout you're registering has to have been allocated before you register it. The function does the registering, not the allocating — no cap, it will not do that for you 😭 so make sure your carveout is already allocated first, fr fr.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

And now the part where I tag literally everyone in the group chat 💅 the kernel file ./drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c plus all of these iconic siblings:

and that's the whole page, bestie ✨ it came from ./drivers/remoteproc, dated October 2026 — so go forth, register your carveouts, and remember: allocate first, register second, slay always 💅🎀💖
