STRUCT QCOM_SMD_ALLOC_ENTRY(9)

💅 struct qcom_smd_alloc_entry(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for struct qcom_smd_alloc_entry(9) and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." it's a channel allocation entry and we're gonna get into it. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct qcom_smd_alloc_entry — channel allocation entry

like literally that's the whole vibe. it's an entry. for allocating a channel. no cap. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct qcom_smd_alloc_entry {
    u8 name[20];
    __le32 cid;
    __le32 flags;
    __le32 ref_count;
 };

so this is the whole struct, exactly as it lives, and yes we're keeping the slightly off-kilter indentation of that closing brace because it's canon. don't @ me. 🔥

👑 Members 👑

• name — channel name 💫 — and heads up, it's a u8 name[20], so it's a fixed twenty-byte situation, not some infinite string nonsense.
• cid — channel index 🎀 (a __le32, little-endian, respect the endianness bestie)
• flags — channel flags and edge id 🦋 — both things, one field, we love a multitasker
• ref_count — reference count of the channel ⭐ — it's counting refs, that's the whole job, and it's doing it iconically

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/rpmsg/qcom_smd.c — like, the actual source, go read it iykyk 📖

• struct qcom_smd_channel(9)
• __qcom_smd_send(9)
• qcom_smd_register_edge(9)
• qcom_smd_unregister_edge(9)

all of these are the friend group, they all hang out in the same corner of the kernel, go say hi 🫶

💀 real talk: this page is short, but every field matters — name, cid, flags, ref_count, all four, don't skip a single one. periodt.

and that's the whole page bestie! 🌸 this cutie pie of a manpage lives in ./drivers/rpmsg, and it's stamped October 2026 — yeah, the future, she's ahead of her time. 🧚‍♀️✨ love that for her. bye babes! 💜🍓
