drm_mm_scan_init_with_range(9) 💅

okay so hiii bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual era for drm_mm_scan_init_with_range(9) ✨. This is the function that sets up your range-restricted LRU scanning, and honestly it's giving very organized main character energy 🎀.

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_mm_scan_init_with_range — initialize range-restricted lru scanning. periodt. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_mm_scan_init_with_range (struct drm_mm_scan *scan , struct
       drm_mm *mm , u64 size , u64 alignment , unsigned long color , u64 start
       , u64 end , enum drm_mm_insert_mode mode );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• scan — the scan state. this is the glow-up target, bestie 💫
• mm — the drm_mm to scan 👀
• size — size of the allocation 📏
• alignment — alignment of the allocation 📐
• color — opaque tag value to use for the allocation 🎨
• start — start of the allowed range for the allocation 🚩
• end — end of the allowed range for the allocation 🏁
• mode — fine-tune the allocation search and placement 🎛️

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

This is literally just the setup: it gets the scanning routines ready with the parameters for the desired hole. that's it, that's the job — no overthinking, just wiring the scan with the right hole parameters 🕳️✨

⚠️ Warning: while the scan list is non-empty, the only allowed operations are adding/removing nodes to/from the scan list. so yeah, while the scan list has anything in it, the only moves are adding/removing nodes to/from the scan list — don't try anything else, bestie 🚨💀
