πŸ’… efi_memmap_split_count(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of efi_memmap_split_count β€” it lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a tiny little icon and it knows it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

efi_memmap_split_count β€” literally just counts how many additional EFI memmap entries you're gonna need πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int efi_memmap_split_count (efi_memory_desc_t *md , struct range *range );

that's it, that's the whole vibe check: it takes two things and hands you back an int πŸ’–


πŸ’… ARGUMENTS πŸ’…

  • md β€” the EFI memory descriptor you're about to split, no cap 🫢
  • range β€” the address range (start, end) that you want to split around, iykyk 🌈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way that this works: it returns the number of additional EFI memmap entries required to accommodate range πŸ”₯

that's the whole function, bestie β€” it counts, it doesn't do the splitting, it's giving "I'm the planner, not the doer" main character energy πŸ‘‘
