STRUCT SMP2P_SMEM_ITEM(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct smp2p_smem_item(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual page for struct smp2p_smem_item β€” and yeah, it's a struct smp2p_smem_item kind of day, the Linux kernel API kind, and we're gonna get through it together 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct smp2p_smem_item β€” the in-memory communication structure. that's it, that's the vibe. it's literally the little shared-memory blueprint the two sides use to talk to each other πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole glow-up, exactly as it lives in the header, no cap:

struct smp2p_smem_item {
    u32 magic;
    u8 version;
    unsigned features:24;
    u16 local_pid;
    u16 remote_pid;
    u16 total_entries;
    u16 valid_entries;
    u32 flags;
    struct {
      u8 name[SMP2P_MAX_ENTRY_NAME];
      u32 value;
    } entries[SMP2P_MAX_ENTRY];
 };

like… look at her. absolute main character energy ✨

bestie, this is the important part, so pay attention β€” every single field, no skipping 🧚

  • magic β€” the magic number. yes it's called magic, yes it's iconic, it's how you know you're looking at the right thing πŸ”₯
  • version β€” the version. gotta know which era we're in πŸ’œ
  • features β€” the features flag β€” and ngl, it's currently unused, so it's just sitting there being pretty πŸ™ˆ
  • local_pid β€” processor id of the sending end. the sender, the one doing the talking πŸ“€
  • remote_pid β€” processor id of the receiving end. the one on the other side listening πŸ“₯
  • total_entries β€” number of entries β€” and it's always SMP2P_MAX_ENTRY, like it's not even a maybe, it's a always ✨
  • valid_entries β€” number of allocated entries. so like, how many of them are actually real and in use πŸŽ€
  • flags β€” flags. that's the whole description and honestly? respect for the minimalism πŸ’€
  • entries β€” the individual communication entries. the actual little messages living their best lives 🌈
  • entries.name β€” name of the entry 🏷️
  • entries.value β€” content of the entry. the actual payload, the whole point πŸ“

  • struct qcom_smp2p(9)
  • qcom_smp2p_intr(9)

all of them live under ./drivers/soc/qcom, periodt πŸ‘‘


lowkey a reminder that this is kernel-level stuff, so like… be careful, okay? not me being dramatic, it's just facts πŸ’€

and that's the page, bestie πŸ’– this little gem comes courtesy of the <./drivers/soc/qcom> corner of the kernel, dated October 2026, and it's the struct smp2p_smem_item(9) page β€” go off, you understood it fr fr 🫢✨
