STRUCT KSZ_SHARED_MEM(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💾 struct ksz_shared_mem(9) — Kernel API Manual 💾

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for struct ksz_shared_mem(9) — literally the OS dependent shared memory data structure. We're reading the whole thing together, no skips, fr fr. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ksz_shared_mem — the OS dependent shared memory data structure. That's the name, that's the vibe, no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the struct in all its main-character glory, copied exactly:

struct ksz_shared_mem {
    dma_addr_t dma_addr;
    uint alloc_size;
    uint phys;
    u8 *alloc_virt;
    u8 *virt;
};

🧚 Members 🧚

okay so the struct has five members, and each one is lowkey doing its own little job. Let's go:

  • dma_addr — the physical DMA address that got allocated. ✨
  • alloc_size — the allocation size. 💖
  • phys — the actual physical address used. 🔥
  • alloc_virt — the virtual address that got allocated. 🎀
  • virt — the actual virtual address used. 🦋
