STRUCT DPAA2_SG_ENTRY(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 struct dpaa2_sg_entry(9) — the scatter-gathering structure 🌸

okay bestie, buckle up 💅 this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one tiny little struct that holds your scatter-gather vibes together. no cap, it's short but it's iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

struct dpaa2_sg_entry — literally the scatter-gathering structure. that's her. that's the whole name. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole glow-up, exactly as she ships:

struct dpaa2_sg_entry {
    __le64 addr;
    __le32 len;
    __le16 bpid;
    __le16 format_offset;
 };

four fields, zero drama. periodt. 💖

👑 Members 👑

okay so each of these is a little main character in the struct, let's meet them 🫶

  • addr — the address of the sg entry. where the goods live, basically. 📍
  • len — the length in this sg entry. how much of the goods we're talking about. 📏
  • bpid — the buffer pool id. which pool this buffer came from, iykyk. 🏊
  • format_offset — the format and offset fields. two vibes, one field, efficiency queen. ✨
ngl, these descriptions are short and sweet, so don't go reading extra behaviour into them — the page tells you what each field is, and that's the whole story. 💀

like, that's the whole group chat. go say hi. 💜

and that's the page, bestie! 🎀 this cutie lives in ./include/soc/fsl and the version stamps her at October 2026 — so yeah, mark your calendar, struct dpaa2_sg_entry(9) is out here slaying in the ./include/soc/fsl directory. mwah 💋✨
