STRUCT DRM_PVR_DEV_QUERY_STATIC_DATA_AREAS(9)

💅 struct drm_pvr_dev_query_static_data_areas(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about one little struct that goes and fetches the tea on the static data areas in heaps that your device driver supports. it's giving "I'm just a container" but honestly it's doing so much. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct drm_pvr_dev_query_static_data_areas — a container used to fetch information about the static data areas in heaps supported by the device driver. no cap, that's literally its whole job 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_pvr_dev_query_static_data_areas {
    struct drm_pvr_obj_array static_data_areas;
 };

look at her. one member. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• static_data_areas — this is an array of struct drm_pvr_static_data_area. and here's the cute part: if the pointer is NULL, the count and stride get updated with the ones the driver version already knows about, so the caller can go ahead and allocate. literally helping you help yourself, we love a self-sufficient struct 💅

---

🍓 Description 🍓

please note, bestie 💖 — all driver-supported static data areas will be returned up to static_data_areas.count. but some of them won't be present for all devices, and that's indicated by struct drm_pvr_static_data_area.size being set to zero. so like, zero means "not here for u on this device", don't panic 😭

further (yes, there's more 🌈), some heaps won't be present either — check out struct drm_pvr_dev_query_heap_info for that whole situation.

⚠️ important vibe check: when you're fetching this type, struct drm_pvr_ioctl_dev_query_args.type must be set to DRM_PVR_DEV_QUERY_STATIC_DATA_AREAS_GET. like, no negotiating on this one, set it or nothing works 🙈

and that's the page!! 💜 this lil cutie lives in ./include/uapi/drm and is dated October 2026 — so like, future energy but make it kernel docs. mwah, go read ur structs bestie 🎀✨
