STRUCT PVR_PAGE_TABLE_L2(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 struct pvr_page_table_l2(9) — a wrapped level 2 page table 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual section for struct pvr_page_table_l2 — yes that whole manual, and yes this struct is lowkey the main character of the page table tree 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct pvr_page_table_l2 {
    struct pvr_page_table_l1 *entries[ROGUE_MMUCTRL_ENTRIES_PC_VALUE];
    struct pvr_mmu_backing_page backing_page;
    u16 entry_count;
 };

look at her. she's structured. she's iconic. let's go through the members one by one 💅

👑 Members

  • entries — these are the children of this node in the page table tree structure, and they're also mirror tables, no cap 🪞 the indexing of this array is identical to that of the raw equivalent (pvr_page_table_l1_raw.entries), so you can vibe-check one against the other with zero mental gymnastics.
  • backing_page — a handle to the memory that holds the raw equivalent of this table. > For internal use only. so like… hands off, bestie 🙈 that's not for you.
  • entry_count — the current number of valid entries (that we know of) in this table. this value is essentially a refcount, fr fr — the table is destroyed when this value gets decremented to zero by pvr_page_table_l2_remove. it's giving "when the counter hits zero the party's over" 😭

💖 Description

so to access the raw part of this table, you use pvr_page_table_l2_get_raw. alternatively, if you wanna access a raw entry directly, use pvr_page_table_l2_get_entry_raw. two doors, same house 🚪✨

and here's the part that makes her special: a level 2 page table forms the root of the page table tree structure 🌳 so this type has no parent or parent_idx members. she answers to no one. mother is mothering 👑

🎀 and that's the whole page, bestie! this one came straight out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/imagination and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, it's from the future, and it still ate 💅✨ go read the rest of the manual, ily, bye 🦋💖
