vdpa_get_config(9)
π vdpa_get_config β the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute β¨
Okay so bestie, listen up, because vdpa_get_config is literally the one that pulls device configuration fields out of a vDPA device, and she ate. This page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to get into it. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void vdpa_get_config (struct vdpa_device *vdev , unsigned int offset ,
void *buf , unsigned int len );
No cap, that's the whole signature. Void return, four arguments, iconic. π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
vdevβ the vDPA device you're operating on. Like, this is your main character right here, the device everything's happening to. π«Άoffsetβ the starting byte offset of the field you want. Basically where in the config you're pointing at. πbufβ buffer pointer to read to. This is where the data lands, so make sure it's ready to receive, bestie. π§Ίlenβ length of the configuration fields in bytes. Tell her how much you want and she'll deliver exactly that. π
π SEE ALSO π
The kernel file ./drivers/vdpa/vdpa.c is the mothership, and she's got friends β so many friends. Go say hi to all of these:
__vdpa_alloc_device(9)_vdpa_register_device(9)vdpa_register_device(9)_vdpa_unregister_device(9)vdpa_unregister_device(9)__vdpa_register_driver(9)vdpa_unregister_driver(9)vdpa_mgmtdev_register(9)vdpa_set_config(9)
Like, that is a whole squad right there. vdpa_set_config(9) is her partner in crime, iykyk. π
And that's the whole page, periodt. This cutie dropped as part of the ./drivers/vdpa source situation, dated October 2026, and honestly? She's serving kernel API excellence. Slay. πβ¨π¦
