STRUCT ACRN_MMIODEV(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct acrn_mmiodev(9) ✨

okay so bestie, grab a strawberry πŸ“ β€” this one's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally just a little struct, but it's a main character struct, iykyk.


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct acrn_mmiodev β€” the info bundle for assigning or de-assigning an MMIO device. that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct acrn_mmiodev {
    __u8 name[8];
    struct acrn_mmio_dev_res res[ACRN_MMIODEV_RES_NUM];
 };

no cap, that's the entire shape of it. two members, zero drama πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ Members πŸ‘‘

  • name β€” the name of the MMIO device. it's a __u8 array of 8, so keep it cute and keep it short, bestie πŸ™ˆ
  • res β€” the array of MMIO device descriptions, sized ACRN_MMIODEV_RES_NUM. it's giving "plural, so bring a whole array" ✨

πŸ’– Description πŸ’–

okay so this is the important bit: this structure gets passed to the hypervisor directly. like, straight through. no middleman, no vibe check in between 🫢 that's literally the whole description and honestly it ate.

ngl bestie, there's not a ton here β€” but everything that is here is exact, so don't go renaming name or resizing res on me 😭

and that's the whole page!! mwah πŸ’‹ this cutie lives at ./include/uapi/linux, the page itself is dated October 2026, and yeah β€” it's struct acrn_mmiodev(9) all the way down 🧚⭐
