STRUCT KHO_BLOCK_SET(9)

💖 struct kho_block_set(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — today we're learning about struct kho_block_set, and honestly? it's giving "organized friend group" 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct kho_block_set — a whole set of blocks that are each holding serialized entries, and every single entry in the set is the same type. no mixing, no chaos, just vibes 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole look, literally copy it exactly:

struct kho_block_set {
    struct list_head blocks;
    long nblocks;
    u64 head_pa;
    size_t entry_size;
    u64 count_per_block;
    bool incoming;
 };

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• blocks — the list of serialization blocks (each one is a struct kho_block). it's the group chat member list fr fr 💅
• nblocks — how many serialization blocks have actually been allocated. like, headcount 🧚
• head_pa — the physical address of the first block header. yes physical, not virtual, she's built different 🔥
• entry_size — the size of each entry inside the blocks. every entry, same size, no gatekeeping 🌈
• count_per_block — the maximum number of entries that each block can hold. the capacity, the limit, the "no more room bestie" number 👑
• incoming — true if this block set was restored from the previous kernel. so it's basically a carry-over from the last era, main character energy ⭐

💜 Note 💜

ngl this part matters: synchronization and locking are the responsibility of the caller. the block set structure itself is not internally synchronized. so no, she will not lock herself for you — you gotta do it yourself, periodt 😭🔒
