STRUCT BD_RESC_PAGE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct bd_resc_page(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is the page for struct bd_resc_page, and it literally tracks DMA'able memory allocated for BD tables. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct bd_resc_page β€” tracks DMA'able memory allocated for BD tables πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

struct bd_resc_page {
    struct list_head link;
    u32 max_ptrs;
    u32 num_valid;
    void *page[1];
 };

like, that's the whole struct. it's giving "small but iconic" ✨


🌸 Members 🌸

  • link β€” the list head that links the elements together. it's the social butterfly of the struct, keeping everyone connected πŸ”—
  • max_ptrs β€” the maximun pointers that can be stored in this page. yes, the max capacity, the ceiling, the limit β€” this is how many can fit πŸŽ€
  • num_valid β€” the number of pointer valid in this page. like, how many of the slots are actually real and doing something πŸ’―
  • page β€” the base addess for page pointer array. this is where the pointer array actually starts, the main character of the whole operation πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ Description πŸ¦‹

so basically? this is the structure to track DMA'able memory allocated for command BD tables. that's it, that's the job. it's not doing the most, but it's doing it flawlessly, and honestly? obsessed 😭✨
