STRUCT HL_MEM_MGR(9)

🦋 struct hl_mem_mgr(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct hl_mem_mgr(9) — and it is literally the blueprint for a unified memory manager for mappable memory chunks. no cap, it's a tiny struct but it's giving main character energy, and we're gonna read every line together. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

struct hl_mem_mgr — describes unified memory manager for mappable memory chunks.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       struct hl_mem_mgr {
           struct device *dev;
           spinlock_t lock;
           struct idr handles;
        };

the way this synopsis is just three members and a closing brace... short, iconic, and somehow still slaying 💅.

💅 Members 💅

• dev — back pointer to the owning device. it's literally pointing back home, iykyk 🏠
• lock — protects handles. she's the bouncer for the handle party 🚪
• handles — an idr holding all active handles to the memory buffers in the system. the whole active-handle friend group lives in here 💖
