STRUCT SMP2P_SMEM_ITEM(9)
π struct smp2p_smem_item(9) π
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 π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
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 π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
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];
};
likeβ¦ look at her. absolute main character energy β¨

bestie, this is the important part, so pay attention β every single field, no skipping π§
magicβ the magic number. yes it's called magic, yes it's iconic, it's how you know you're looking at the right thing π₯versionβ the version. gotta know which era we're in πfeaturesβ the features flag β and ngl, it's currently unused, so it's just sitting there being pretty πlocal_pidβ processor id of the sending end. the sender, the one doing the talking π€remote_pidβ processor id of the receiving end. the one on the other side listening π₯total_entriesβ number of entries β and it's alwaysSMP2P_MAX_ENTRY, like it's not even a maybe, it's a always β¨valid_entriesβ number of allocated entries. so like, how many of them are actually real and in use πflagsβ flags. that's the whole description and honestly? respect for the minimalism πentriesβ the individual communication entries. the actual little messages living their best lives πentries.nameβ name of the entry π·οΈentries.valueβ content of the entry. the actual payload, the whole point π

go look at these next, iykwim:

./drivers/soc/qcom/smp2p.c struct smp2p_entry(9)struct qcom_smp2p(9)qcom_smp2p_intr(9)
all of them live under ./drivers/soc/qcom, periodt π
lowkey a reminder that this is kernel-level stuff, so likeβ¦ be careful, okay? not me being dramatic, it's just facts π
and that's the page, bestie π 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 π«Άβ¨
