balloon_page_list_enqueue(9)

💖 balloon_page_list_enqueue(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual edition, bestie 💖

okay so picture this: it's balloon_page_list_enqueue(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and she's here to help you shove a whole list of pages into the balloon page list. no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

balloon_page_list_enqueue — inserts a list of pages into the balloon page list. that's it, that's the job. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

size_t balloon_page_list_enqueue (struct balloon_dev_info *b_dev_info ,
struct list_head *pages );

look at her. two args, one size_t coming back. iconic. 💅

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• b_dev_info — the balloon device descriptor, aka the spot where we're gonna insert a new page. it's giving "save the spot" energy. 🫶
• pages — the actual pages to enqueue, and listen, these gotta be allocated using balloon_page_alloc. no improvised pages, bestie, use the real allocator. ⭐

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea: the driver must call this function to properly enqueue balloon pages before definitively removing them from the guest system. like, before. not after. the order matters, periodt. 🙈

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

the return value is the number of pages that were enqueued. that's your count. slay. 🎀
