STRUCT HL_MMAP_MEM_BUF_BEHAVIOR(9)

💅 struct hl_mmap_mem_buf_behavior(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this page is all about the little struct that describes unified memory manager buffer behavior. It’s giving “quiet but essential,” and we’re gonna go through every field so you don’t miss a thing 🫶.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct hl_mmap_mem_buf_behavior — describes unified memory manager buffer behavior. That’s the whole assignment, and it ate 💅.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct hl_mmap_mem_buf_behavior {
           const char *topic;
           u64 mem_id;
           int (*alloc)(struct hl_mmap_mem_buf *buf, gfp_t gfp, void *args);
           int (*mmap)(struct hl_mmap_mem_buf *buf, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
       void *args);
           void (*release)(struct hl_mmap_mem_buf *buf);
        };

These are the five fields, no cap 🔥:

• topic — the string identifier used for logging, so the logs know what’s up 🎀.
• mem_id — the memory type identifier, embedded in the handle and used to identify the memory type by handle. very “your ID but make it memory” energy 💳.
• alloc — the callback executed on buffer allocation; it shall allocate the memory, set it under buffer private, and set mappable size. basically the “make it exist and make it mappable” callback 🛠️.
• mmap — the callback executed on mmap, and it must map the buffer to vma 🗺️.
• release — the callback executed on release, and it must free the resources used by the buffer. cleanup queen behavior 🧹👑.
