STRUCT TRAN_INT_DESC(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to the struct tran_int_desc(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, it’s a struct page, so we’re doing the little C-shaped dance together 🫶💅

💖 NAME 💖

struct tran_int_desc — no description given, bestie; the original page just has the struct name and a lonely little dash. we are not inventing lore 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the struct in all its glory — copy it exactly, no editing the vibe:

       struct tran_int_desc {
           u16 reserved;
           u16 vector_count;
           u32 data;
           u64 address;
        };

🧚 Members 🧚

  • reserved — unused, padding. the way that it’s literally just holding space for later? iconic 💅
  • vector_count — same as in hv_msi_desc. no cap, no extra twist 🎀
  • data — this is the "data payload" value that is written by the device when it generates a message-signaled interrupt, either MSI or MSI-X. 🔥
  • address — this is the address to which the data payload is written on interrupt generation. periodt. 🦋

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file in the mix is ./drivers/pci/controller/pci-hyperv.c, and here’s the full SEE ALSO squad — all of them, no skips, no cuts:

okay that’s the whole page, bestie 💖 source/version vibe: ./drivers/pci/controller · date: October 2026. catch u on the kernel side! 🦋✨
