STRUCT QDIO_BUFFER_ELEMENT(9)

🎀 struct qdio_buffer_element 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for struct qdio_buffer_element, and it is literally the SBAL entry struct. lowkey iconic, no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct qdio_buffer_element — SBAL entry. that's the whole vibe: one SBAL entry, bestie 🫶

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

here's the struct in all its main-character glory:

       struct qdio_buffer_element {
           u8 eflags;
           u8 scount;
           u8 sflags;
           u32 length;
           dma64_t addr;
        };

🌸 Members 🌸

• eflags — the SBAL entry flags. entry-level flag business, periodt ✨
• scount — the SBAL count. it's counting, bestie 💅
• sflags — the whole SBAL flags. whole-SBAL energy, not just a lil piece 🌈
• length — the length. iconic, straightforward, no notes 🎀
• addr — the absolute data address. where the data actually lives, fr fr 📍
