STRUCT VRINGH_CONFIG_OPS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ¦‹ struct vringh_config_ops(9) πŸ¦‹

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, this is the page for struct vringh_config_ops(9) and it's literally the blueprint for making a host vring out of a virtio driver πŸ’… no cap, that's the whole vibe.


✨ NAME ✨

struct vringh_config_ops β€” the ops for creating a host vring from a virtio driver 🫢

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vringh_config_ops {
    int (*find_vrhs)(struct virtio_device *vdev, unsigned nhvrs, struct
vringh *vrhs[], vrh_callback_t *callbacks[]);
    void (*del_vrhs)(struct virtio_device *vdev);
 };

like, that's the whole struct, and it's giving "two function pointers and a dream" 😭 keep it exactly as written, don't touch a single character, i'm serious πŸ™ˆ

πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • find_vrhs β€” finds the host vrings and instantiates them πŸ’– so iconic of it. the details, fr fr:
    • vdev: the virtio_device
    • nhvrs: the number of host vrings to find
    • hvrs: on success, includes new host vrings
    • callbacks: array of driver callbacks, for each host vring include a NULL entry for vqs that do not need a callback
    • Returns 0 on success or error status
  • del_vrhs β€” frees the host vrings found by find_vrhs. the cleanup queen πŸ‘‘ she's gotta do it so you don't have to 🧚

lowkey go read those next, they're the main character energy this struct is leaning on πŸ’€

and that's a wrap bestie!! πŸ“ this page came straight out of ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct vringh_config_ops(9) β€” slay, go forth and vring πŸ’œβœ¨
