STRUCT PDS_LM_RESTORE_CMD(9)

💅 struct pds_lm_restore_cmd(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel API manual (yes, that one, the struct pds_lm_restore_cmd(9) page, bestie, we're literally here) and you're like "what even is the RESTORE command, and why does it have so many padding fields 😭". Don't worry, I got you. Sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct pds_lm_restore_cmd — the RESTORE command. that's it, that's the whole vibe. iconic brevity 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the shape of it, exact, no edits, copy-paste ready:

struct pds_lm_restore_cmd {
    u8 opcode;
    u8 rsvd;
    __le16 vf_id;
    u8 rsvd2[4];
    __le64 sgl_addr;
    __le32 num_sge;
 };

like, look at her. little opcode, little vf_id, and then a big __le64 flexing in the middle. main character energy ngl 👑

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• opcode — the opcode, and it's PDS_LM_CMD_RESTORE. that's the whole personality. ✨
• rsvd — word boundary padding. yes bestie, it's just vibes and alignment, it's doing important structural work even if it looks like it's napping 😴
• vf_id — the VF id. 💜
• rsvd2 — more word boundary padding. she's back and she's padded. 🎀
• sgl_addr — the IOVA address of the SGL to dma the device state. like the little address where the state gets yeeted through DMA 🔥
• num_sge — total number of SG elements. count 'em, no cap 🧮

---

this list is long and honestly kind of iconic, so I'm giving it to you in full — every single one, no cutting, no "etc." energy, periodt:

like... that's a lot of friends and I respect every single one of them. iykyk 💀

ngl bestie, if you made it to the bottom of that SEE ALSO list, you deserve a little treat. go get a snack 🍓
