[RFC] vDPA: Trying to make sense of config data
From: Carlos Bilbao
Date: Thu Aug 22 2024 - 14:22:31 EST
Hello folks,
I'm using the code below to retrieve configuration data for my vDPA file
via ioctl. I get as output:
Configuration data (24 bytes):
5a c3 5f 68 48 a9 01 00 08 00 dc 05 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
ASCII representation:
Z._hH...................
Could a good Samaritan point me in the right direction for the docs I need
to understand these values and convert them to a human-readable format?
hank you in advance!
Regards,
Carlos
