STRUCT UBI_EBA_TABLE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct ubi_eba_table(9) β€” a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, we're deep in the kernel API manual today (yes, that manual), and the star of the show is struct ubi_eba_table. it's giving low-level, it's giving internal, and honestly? iconic.


✨ NAME ✨

struct ubi_eba_table β€” literally the LEB β†’ PEB association info πŸŽ€ like that's the whole job.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct ubi_eba_table {
    struct ubi_eba_entry *entries;
 };

that's it. that's the struct. short, sweet, and absolutely not for you to poke at (more on that in a sec πŸ‘€).


🌸 Members 🌸

  • entries β€” the LEB to PEB mapping, and it's one entry per LEB fr fr. every LEB gets its lil entry, no skipping, no favorites. 🫢

πŸ’– Description πŸ’–

so listen. this structure is private to the EBA logic and should be kept here β€” like, right here, where it lives. do not move it, do not pass go, do not collect $200. πŸ™ˆ

it's the thing encoding the LEB to PEB association table, and heads up: it is subject to changes. so if you were thinking about building your whole personality around this struct's layout… don't. πŸ’€ it can and will shift on you. no cap.

bestie warning: private + subject to changes = hands off unless you're literally the EBA logic. this is not a "let me just reach in and grab it" situation. 😭
