💖 bit_map_string_get(9) 💖

Okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — today’s main character is bit_map_string_get, and it’s literally here to find and set a bit string in a bit map. Slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bit_map_string_get (struct bit_map *t , int len , int align );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• t — the bit map. That’s the vibe.

• align — requested alignment. Gotta line it up cute.

---

It returns the offset in the map, or -1 if out of space. Periodt.

⚠️ Not safe to call from an interrupt — it uses spin_lock. Like, do not try that, fr fr. 😭
