STRUCT LUO_SER(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct luo_ser(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about struct luo_ser β€” the centralized LUO ABI header. yes, that one. sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct luo_ser β€” the centralized LUO ABI header. that's it, that's the whole name section, she's brief and she's iconic πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole struct, copied exactly, no cap:

struct luo_ser {
    char compatible[LUO_ABI_COMPAT_LEN];
    u64 liveupdate_num;
    u64 sessions_pa;
    u64 flbs_pa;
 };

like, four members, all of them serving a purpose. love that for us πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • compatible β€” a compatibility string that identifies which LUO ABI version we're dealing with. it's giving "hello, my name is" but for ABI versioning πŸ’–
  • liveupdate_num β€” a counter that tracks how many successful live updates have happened. she's keeping score fr fr πŸ”₯
  • sessions_pa β€” the physical address of the first session block header. note the _pa, bestie β€” that's a physical address, not just any address πŸ‘‘
  • flbs_pa β€” the physical address of the FLB header. again, physical address. don't get it twisted πŸ™ˆ

🌈 Description 🌈

this structure is the root of all preserved LUO state. that's the whole description but honestly it's a big deal β€” she's the origin point, the main character of the preserved-state situation ⭐
