STRUCT IOPF_QUEUE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

struct iopf_queue β€” the IO Page Fault queue, aka the group chat where all your fault-handling drama actually gets scheduled 😭✨

Oh and btw bestie, we're living in the Kernel API Manual today β€” that's the vibe of this whole page 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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 πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • wq β€” 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 πŸ”₯
  • devices β€” devices attached to this queue. literally the list of devices that are in this queue's orbit πŸ¦‹
  • lock β€” protects the device list. do not touch devices without her, she is the bouncer at the door and she is not letting you in πŸ™ˆ

okay and that's the whole page bestie, no warnings, no exit statuses, nobody's getting hurt today 🫢
