STRUCT IOPF_QUEUE(9)
π NAME π
struct iopf_queue β the IO Page Fault queue, aka the group chat where all your fault-handling drama actually gets scheduled πβ¨
Oh and btw bestie, we're living in the Kernel API Manual today β that's the vibe of this whole page π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
struct iopf_queue {
struct workqueue_struct *wq;
struct list_head devices;
struct mutex lock;
};
That's the whole struct. Three members. No cap, that's it, and she's iconic for it π
π Members π
wqβ the fault workqueue. this is the actual workqueue that the fault work gets queued onto, like the group chat where the messages actually get posted π₯devicesβ devices attached to this queue. literally the list of devices that are in this queue's orbit π¦lockβ protects the device list. do not touchdeviceswithout her, she is the bouncer at the door and she is not letting you in π
π SEE ALSO π
okay so there is a LOT of lore here, stay with me, these are all sibs of the iommu family tree π§ and they all live in the Kernel file ./include/linux/iommu.h:

go read them. all of them. it's giving study group energy ππ
okay and that's the whole page bestie, no warnings, no exit statuses, nobody's getting hurt today π«Ά
kisses, this page came straight out of the Kernel file at ./include/linux π dated October 2026, and it's all about struct iopf_queue(9) β slay, periodt, bye πβ¨πΈ
