STRUCT HL_DMABUF_PRIV(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

okay so welcome to the struct hl_dmabuf_priv(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual β€” this is genuinely just a little struct that acts as the private object for a dma-buf. private bestie energy, yk? πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct hl_dmabuf_priv {
    struct dma_buf                  *dmabuf;
    struct hl_ctx                   *ctx;
    struct hl_vm_phys_pg_pack       *phys_pg_pack;
    struct hl_vm_hash_node          *memhash_hnode;
    u64 offset;
    u64 device_phys_addr;
 };
bestie do NOT retype this from memory, it's copy-paste coded (and yes, there's an extra space before that last }; in the original, leave it, it's iconic πŸ™ˆ)

🫢 MEMBERS 🫢

  • dmabuf β€” pointer to the dma-buf object. like, the whole point, the main character πŸ‘‘
  • ctx β€” pointer to the dma-buf owner's context. whoever exported this thing.
  • phys_pg_pack β€” pointer to the physical page pack, but ONLY if the dma-buf was exported where virtual memory is supported. no vmem, no pack, no problem.
  • memhash_hnode β€” pointer to the memhash node. this one is lowkey the bouncer at the club: this object holds the export count. πŸ”₯
  • offset β€” the offset into the buffer from which the memory is exported. relevant only if virtual memory is supported AND phys_pg_pack is being used. fr fr, conditional queen.
  • device_phys_addr β€” physical address of the device's memory. relevant only if phys_pg_pack is NULL (i.e. the dma-buf was exported from address). and if you need the total size? take it from the dmabuf object, it's right there πŸ’–

like yes that's a LOT of cross-refs, but they're all here, not one skipped, we don't gatekeep on this page πŸ¦‹


and that's the whole vibe check πŸ’œ this masterpiece lives in ./drivers/accel/habanalabs/common, and the page itself is dated October 2026 β€” go forth and dma-buf responsibly, bestie, mwah πŸŽ€βœ¨
