πŸ’… dmem_cgroup_unregister_region(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” this little page is all about dmem_cgroup_unregister_region, and honestly? it's a cleanup queen. she undoes the thing so you can safely free the stuff. main character energy, no cap πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

dmem_cgroup_unregister_region β€” unregister a region that you already registered before. that's it, that's the vibe πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void dmem_cgroup_unregister_region (struct dmem_cgroup_region *region );

yeah she takes exactly one argument, no drama 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • region β€” the region you want to unregister. the one you're breaking up with. it's giving "we're done here" πŸ’€

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so here's the tea, bestie: this function is literally the undo button for dmem_cgroup_register_region πŸ”₯

the actually important part? she drains any in-flight reclaim callbacks before returning. like, she waits for every callback that's still mid-flight to finish before she walks out the door πŸ’…

that means β€” and this is the part you screenshot β€” the caller may safely free the resources pointed to by the reclaim_priv that was passed at registration time. so after she returns, you're cleared to free that stuff 🫢 slay.

ngl, the "drains in-flight callbacks" bit is the whole point. don't be out here freeing reclaim_priv resources before this function comes back, okay? that's the whole safety guarantee and she did not do all that waiting for nothing 😭
