__merge_memory_ranges(9)

✨ __merge_memory_ranges — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat 💖 this is the __merge_memory_ranges(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

__merge_memory_ranges — merges the given memory ranges list. that's it. that's the whole vibe. lowkey iconic 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __merge_memory_ranges (struct crash_mem *mem_rngs );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• mem_rngs — the range list to merge. yes, that's the one. she's the main character here 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function assumes a sorted range list. like, it's not gonna sort it for you, that's not her job, she's just here to merge. so pls sort first, bestie, or you're gonna have a bad time 😭

and then… she returns nothing. literally nothing. it's a void, she does her thing and dips ✨ periodt.
