_copy_to_pages(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to _copy_to_pages(9) from the Kernel API Manual 🌸 — this is the group chat for copying data into pages, and we’re keeping every detail fr fr 💅

✨ NAME ✨

_copy_to_pages — the original leaves this description blank, bestie; we are not inventing one 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here’s the signature, exactly as it appears — no edits, no vibes-based rewriting:

void _copy_to_pages (struct page **pages , size_t pgbase , const char *p
       , size_t len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pages — array of pages. The destination squad, basically 💖
  • pgbase — page vector address of destination. That’s the exact phrase, and yes it’s giving very “kernel address energy” ✨
  • p — pointer to source data. The source data’s home base 🏠
  • len — length. The original just says length, so we’re keeping it vague and iconic 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Bestie, this one copies data from an arbitrary memory location into an array of pages 🫶 The copy is assumed to be non-overlapping. That’s the whole deal: arbitrary source memory → array of pages, non-overlapping assumed. No cap, that’s it 💀✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole xdr.c bestie reunion is here, and yes, every single reference made the cut 👑
