kmemleak_alloc_phys(9)

okay so bestie, this is the kmemleak_alloc_phys(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s basically giving “kmemleak_alloc walked in wearing a physical-address outfit” 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

kmemleak_alloc_phys — similar to kmemleak_alloc but taking a physical address argument. that’s the whole vibe, no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __ref kmemleak_alloc_phys (phys_addr_t phys , size_t size , gfp_t
       gfp );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• phys — physical address of the object 💖
• size — size of the object ✨
• gfp — kmalloc flags used for kmemleak internal memory allocations 🦋
