💜 kmsan_kfree_large(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to kmsan_kfree_large from the Kernel API Manual (yes that's the manual name, we're folding it in here, you're welcome 🫶). This is the whole page, every crumb of it, just with way better vibes. Let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void kmsan_kfree_large (const void *ptr );

literally one function, one pointer, no drama. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ptr — object pointer. that's it. that's the whole argument. she needs the pointer and nothing else, lowkey refreshing ngl 🌷

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea, bestie: this one is similar to kmsan_slab_free, but for large allocations. That's the entire description and honestly? she said what she said. no cap 💀

Think of it like the big-sister version of the slab free notifier — same energy, bigger allocations. main character energy fr fr 🔥

💡 reminder bestie: the original page tells you it's "similar to kmsan_slab_free, but for large allocations" — so if you want the actual small-alloc details, go read that one, iykyk 🙈
