STRUCT MTD_OOB_REGION(9)
π NAME π
struct mtd_oob_region β okay so this is literally the oob region definition, bestie, that's the whole vibe
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
So this is the manual page for struct mtd_oob_region, from the Kernel API Manual (yep, that's the manual name, we're fancy now π), and here's the whole struct in all its iconic glory:
struct mtd_oob_region {
u32 offset;
u32 length;
};
That's it. Two fields. Minimalist queen behavior, honestly. π

offsetβ the region offset, no cap. This is where the region starts, lowkey the origin story of your region. βlengthβ the region length, fr fr. How long it goes on for. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Okay so picture this: this structure describes a region of the OOB area, and it's the it-girl used to retrieve ECC or free bytes sections. Each section is defined by an offset within the OOB area and a length. That's the entire lore. π¦
Literally, each section = an offset within the OOB area + a length. Two numbers, one region, main character energy. π
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
Go touch some grass and then read these too, bestie, they're all in the kernel file ./include/linux/mtd/mtd.h:

And that's the whole page! π Signing off from ./include/linux/mtd, dated October 2026 β yes, future girlie behavior, we stay ahead of schedule. Byeee, ily, go read your OOB regions responsibly! ππβ¨
