STRUCT HL_VA_RANGE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct hl_va_range(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’– this one's a lil struct page for <pink>struct hl_va_range</pink> and honestly it's giving "small but mighty". grab a boba, we're learning virtual address ranges today πŸ§‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct hl_va_range β€” virtual addresses range. that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's the whole glow-up, copy it exactly bestie:

struct hl_va_range {
    struct mutex            lock;
    struct list_head        list;
    u64 start_addr;
    u64 end_addr;
    u32 page_size;
 };

notice the lil space before the closing brace β€” that's canon, don't come for me πŸ™ˆ


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

okay so these are the members, and each one has a job, and each one is doing it flawlessly:

  • lock β€” a struct mutex who has ONE job and that job is protecting the virtual addresses list. she's the bouncer at the club, no cap 🫢
  • list β€” a struct list_head holding the list of virtual addresses blocks available for mappings. lowkey the main character of this struct ngl πŸ‘‘
  • start_addr β€” a u64, literally just the range start address. periodt.
  • end_addr β€” a u64, the range end address. iconic symmetry with start_addr, we love to see it ✨
  • page_size β€” a u32, the page size of this va range. it's giving "size matters (for pages)" πŸ“

ok that's everything, nothing skipped, we ate and left no crumbs πŸ’…

and that's the page bestie!! this lil number lives in ./drivers/accel/habanalabs/common and it's dated October 2026 β€” yes, the future, because this struct is ahead of its time ⭐ mwah, go read some more manpages, ily πŸ§šπŸ’–
