πŸ’… dsemul_mm_cleanup(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual page you actually wanna read πŸŽ€

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil MIPS-flavored cleanup function and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "responsible friend who reminds you to throw out the takeout containers before you move apartments" 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

dsemul_mm_cleanup β€” cleanup time for the per-mm delay slot 'emulation' state, no cap 🧹✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void dsemul_mm_cleanup (struct mm_struct *mm );

πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • mm β€” the struct mm_struct you want to clean the state up for. that's her. that's the one. πŸ‘‘

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: there's mm, right? and mm has some delay slot 'emulation' book-keeping going on, and some memory got allocated for it. this function cleans up the state for that given mm, and the whole point is making sure any memory allocated for that delay slot 'emulation' book-keeping gets freed πŸ’€βž‘οΈπŸ—‘οΈ

and here's the important part, bestie β€” you call this before mm is freed, because the entire vibe is avoiding memory leaks. literally the whole reason she exists. do not skip her. the leak will find you. 😭πŸ”₯
